Print to File Manager Add In &
Code Library for Microsoft Access

Print to File Manager for Access is an Access Add In that allows and application to:

Automate creation of printer or postscript files for printing offsite (e.g. a commercial printer or remote office,) or
Automate creation of post script files for distilling with Adobe Acrobat, or
Create files for off hours printing of large reports so you don't tie up the network printers...

There is no built in function to automatically send an Access report to a printer or postscript file, but by using Print to File Manager, you can automate the whole process!


Built In Interface


Print to File Manager (PTFM) provides developer's two different ways to provide the user an automated process to print reports to file.

When used as an Add In, PTFM allows users to call the built in interface from the standard Access Tools Menu to both set up file specifications, select printers and print reports to file with a single button. Report setup information is stored in the Add In, so PTFM can be used with multiple databases at the same time.

When used as a Code Library, developer's can call the functions in PTFM to print any report to file through a single function and automate activities such as:

Setup print to file batch routines so that multiple reports can be printed to different printer drivers for file creation and then be reset to their standard printer setups.

Combine PTFM with any postscript printer driver and Adobe Acrobat Distiller watched folders to automatically generate Acrobat portable document files (pdf).

PTFM supports Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT (4.0)/2000 and Xp through it various versions.
