You can invoke the Distiller service CreatePDF2 operation
by using any of the techniques described in How developers interact with services. You can also submit conversion
jobs to that operation by using the PDFG Network Printer (IPP printer).
PDFG Network Printer driver is installed like any other print
driver on the desktop. Users can take advantage of the centralized
PDF generation that the PDF Generator module provides from any application
on their desktop.
Use of the PDFG Network Printer involves the following general
steps:
Users print documents to the PDFG Network Printer.
The PDFG Network Printer converts the submitted file to a
PostScript stream and uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
to send the stream to the Distiller service.
The Distiller service converts the stream to PDF. The conversion
uses the Adobe PDF settings specified by the PDFG Network Printer
configuration.
The Distiller service sends the conversion results back to
the requestor through email. It can also submit the conversion results
to another service or process. This feature effectively makes the
PDFG Network Printer another endpoint.
Before a user can print to the PDFG Network Printer, an administrator
configures the user’s system with the client interface for the PDFG
Network Printer. For information about installing the print driver,
see the Installing and Deploying LiveCycle documents. For
information about configuring this feature, see Setting up a PDFG
Network Printer in LiveCycle Administration Console Help.
