How can I do it in UNIX
www.unixsucks.com:
That can be done. I don't want to give you step by step instructions as it would too much time. Just a quick point where to look Outlook/Tools/Options/Advanced Options/Add In Manager/Server Scripting. That's where you designate scripts. You can use VBScript to like server side code and use 3d party COM component to convert incoming documents.
And I just run through properties of my printer and found that there is Print Processor selector which pretty much tells me that I can designate what needs to be done with incoming document for printing.
And yes Windows does not come with that feature but I would not consider this task a thing which 90% of businesses need and even if they would need it, it still can be done. Tasks which I asked you to accomplish in Linux are usual business needs.
Now I got it. THere is a ghostscript which converts postscript to PDF. So it is in fact 3d party software and you did not write it. So why you claiming it to be your child?

is your 3rd party software free?... just wonderin'
voidmain:
So do it, and tell me how you did it. I want to see your code. And 90% of businesses don't know that they need something like this until they have it, then they can't live without it. But that's not the point. The point was you asked me to point out things that Linux can do that Windows can't. So far you've already had to change the rules and you don't want to use a print queue and I have accepted that. I'm letting you be creative, something you are probably not used to.

Read my edited post. yes you can. And there is ghostcript for Windows. Why you are trying to fool me? It's not your program and you did not write it.
Master of Reality:
ghostscript comes with the Linux OS. And the free software community isnt biased to one system so of course there is a version for windows.
