Pro/GURU,
I am at a company that likes to use Visioneer Paperport software to manage their controlled files (rather than pdf's).
I have software that will allow me to create a Paperport compatible pdf which then can be saved as a max (Paperport) file. No problem here.
What I am looking for are tips in order to automate or partially-automate this process.
I have tried a couple of things.
- I created a pcf fiile. It used MS Printer Mgr, and
I can:
- Scale the plot
- Move the plot (for some reason I have to move it .25" up and .25" to the right to center the plot.
- Read the proper pen table file.
- Set the default paper size (in this case it's "A")
I can't:
- Rotate the plot (I need to rotate all the plots 90 degrees counter-clockwise.) - seems like options are available for ps files, but not anything else.
- Plot multiple sheets into one file. (or at least set it as a default.)
- I created a mapkey
I can
- Select the Plot Config file
- Get the multiple sheets.
I cannot
- Have it select anything in the general printer dialogue
- So, I can't select "Paperport Black & White Image" option from the dropdown. I have to do that manually.
The key things for me is to be able to print directly to "Paperport Black & White Image" option (which is really software and not a printing device) and being able to rotate the plots.
Is there another way to do this? Is there possibly a way to do this with the Printer Command in the pcf file?
Thanks in advance for your help!
