    1. \n

      <\/a>What types of EMF files are generated?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Generated EMF is operating system specific: EMF 1.0 in Win9x, NT EMF 1.003 in NT4, NT EMF 1.008 in Win2k\/XP. Generated EMF files are intended for local converting\/viewing only, not for using on another computers because they contain environment-specific fonts and graphics. To preserve fonts and graphics, you can use PDF format as your output file format. PDF is supported by our virtual printer technology as well.

    2. \n

      <\/a>Can the driver handle portrait and landscape in the same document?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Yes. Client application can get information about document orientation, resolution and title from the virtual driver.
       <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n

    3. \n

      <\/a>Does generated EMF image file contain printed graphics objects?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Yes. Such objects are embedded in EMF in the device-independent format with color information provided by the source application.
       <\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n

    4. \n

      <\/a>What programming tools are needed to build drivers from a source code?<\/b><\/p>\n

      Software requirements:<\/p>\n
