set pdfprinter

Arbortext Command Language > set Command Options > set pdfprinter

set pdfprinter

set pdfprinter=printer

This option specifies a Windows printer driver for producing PDF files during the current Arbortext Editor editing session.

You can also specify a set pdfprinter statement in a custom ACL file placed in Arbortext-path\custom\init\custom-file-name.acl, where it will be loaded at start time.

You only need to set this option if you are creating PDF output via Adobe Distiller. This is a deprecated method not recommended by PTC.

Example:

set pdfprinter=HP11PS

If the name includes spaces or special characters, it must be enclosed with quotes.

Most PostScript printer drivers produce acceptable and reliable output for PostScript and PDF files.

You can get the Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer from the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com.

The set pdfprinter option does not work for the Arbortext Publishing Engine. The default printer that the Arbortext Publishing Engine uses is configured using the Arbortext Publishing Engine Configuration program.
