Universal Document Converter is virtual printer software that saves any document you print as a raster PDF or an image file. You can use a post-print feature of Universal Document Converter to apply additional processing to every output file. The example below is just one of many post-print processing solutions. Please let us know if you cannot find the solution you need.

//
// 3) In ClassWizard window press "Add Class->From a type library"
//    button and select "MSOUTL.OLB" file.
//
// 5) Save files "msoutl.h" and "msoutl.cpp" and add into
//    your "stdafx.h" file this include: #include "msoutl.h"
//
// 6) You must initialize the COM before you call any COM method.
//    Please call "::CoInitialize(0);" before using COM and
//    ::CoUninitialize(); after using COM.
