Good day -

Just askin...

Is there any way that I can detect if this driver is available to the current client? This would help facilitate a message that could say "Please Install..." while at the same time filtering off any PDF/Email options on the output side.

Currently the user gets a message saying that the driver is not installed, which is good - just seeing if i can detect availability before actually sending output.

TIA

I think your best bet would be to check the registry list of printers, for "PDF-XChange Printer 2012". I'm not sure what the definitive, version-independent registry location for printers is, but on my Win10 system I can see it at:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices

OK - ashell has some registry reading tricks around right?

Yes, there's MX_GETREG which works with ATE. Or for something fancier you could create an SBX that transfers itself to the client and uses MX_REGISTRY .

Thanks.
