A virtual printer is a program that functions like a simple printer driver. But unlike him, it does not send a print file to a real printer, but processes graphic data. Thus, using virtual printer technology, it is possible to convert one document format to another. Actually, this technology is used to convert documents.
Necessary
- - PDFCreator program;
- - RiDoc program.
Instructions
Step 1
Since very often a virtual printer is required to convert different types of files to PDF, it will be considered for solving this problem. First, you need to download an application called PDFCreator from the Internet. The program is completely free and can be easily found on the Internet. During the installation process, you can select the language of the program interface.
Step 2
After installation, run the program. Open the document you want to convert to graphic. Click "File". Then select "Print", then in the list of printers - PDFCreator. In the next window that appears, click on "Save". Select a folder to save the file. Wait. In a few seconds, your document will be converted to PDF format.
Step 3
Another program for creating virtual printers is called RiDoc. Find it on the Internet, download and install it on your computer hard drive. To install this program, you need to have Microsoft Office installed on your computer. Reboot your computer. The virtual printer is now integrated into the Microsoft Office program menus.
Step 4
Now in more detail on the work of the virtual printer. For example, suppose you have a document that you want to convert to a graphic format using a virtual printer. Open it with one of the components of the Microsoft Office program. For example, to open a document in Word format, you must accordingly use the Microsoft Office Word component.
Step 5
Then select "File" in the program menu, then - "Print". Select RiDoc from the list of printers. Then send the document to print. In a few seconds, the document you opened will be converted to a graphic one. Using the virtual printer menu, you can also adjust many parameters, for example, adjust the image size, image quality, etc.
