i ask vbscript:
is way open *.html file using firefox browser or microsoft internet explorer , make printed using special printer not default/standard printer?
the background: want make *.pdf file using freepdf software.
the data source local *.html file (without images).
could use vbscript/vb command "createobject" create vb "application" object? know ... use create new word or excel file ...
i use following code:
https://srccode.wordpress.com/2011/01/28/vba-pdf-dokumente-mit-free-pdf-xp-erzeugen/
the web site shows way send files freepdf software pdf printer.
in first step create postscript file , send freepdf printer.
example: create new *.ps out of excel this:
dim ws worksheet set ws = application.activesheet dim strdocument string strdocument = "c:\tmp\hello" ' name der ausgabedatei ohne extension dim strpostscript string strpostscript = strfile & ".ps" ws.printout , , , , "freepdf xp", true, , strpostscript dim strfilepdf string strfilepdf = replace(strfileps, ".ps", ".pdf") dim owsc object dim oexec object set owsc = createobject("wscript.shell") set oexec = owsc.exec(freepdfexe & " /q /o " & strfilepdf & " " & strfileps) while oexec.status = 0 sleep 200 loop kill strfileps debug.print oexec.status i tried realize using firefox , iexplorer didn't work.
has new ideas?
it possible use pdf printer software because mustn't install others on customers system. freepdf installed on every system deliver our customers.
