With AnzioWin, and its built-in Print Wizard, there is no need for an 
additional program to do PCL to PDF. Print Wizard does that function (and 
lots of other things).

As to Richard's original question, I don't understand it.

Bob,

Hi good afternoon.  Here is the printer definition and batch file I sent to Ken.  

here is the printer definition and batch file that starts the menu on those selects that create the out put as a pdf through Printwizard.

What we want to do is instead of having to have line 12 in the batch file we would rather have it as a printer definition so that the user has the option to select a pdf as they would any printer location.  Hope that is clearier.

Print Def....
printer12: rickpdf, printwiz, u:\pdfquote\quote.txt, Create PDF
Note: 'u' is a mapped dirve on all workstations as the users my documents file located on the main server.
and below 'v' is a mapped dirve on all workstations to the fpodbc folder located on the main server.
