In some environments you may want to install a customized version of the PDF Image Printer printer for all of your users, or to install one or more custom-named printers with their own settings instead. Our printers can be installed with multiple printing profiles when your need the flexibility of different output types. When you need to adhere to pre-set options, the printer can be locked to a single printing profile.
This approach is commonly used when distributing software remotely and/or silently to multiple users on a network using Intune, Microsoft SCCM or a similar product with software push capability.
When customizing PDF Image Printer or creating custom-named printers and settings, the same steps need to be done:
➢Create as many custom profiles as you need depending on your conversion needs. Common scenarios are two profiles, one for color and one for black and white, or one for serialized and one for multipaged output. Or you can have many different profiles, each set to save the output to a folder for a specific department. Mark all of these profiles as shared profiles.
➢If you want to change the name of the printer, or create multiple printers, create as many copies of PDF Image Printer that your need and rename them to your desired names. Using the custom profiles you just created, set the custom profile to use for your custom printer. If you don't want users to be able to change settings, you also need to lock the profile to the printer at this point. For push software like Intune, SCCM or others where you have to run them in a System account environment, and not as the logged in user, custom settings must be set using shared and locked profiles.
➢Export your printer and custom profiles. This creates a separate file that you pass to the PDF Image Printer setup when installing. The setup will run this extra configuration step at the end.
➢On the target machine, run the PDF Image Printer setup with the command line argument for the exported settings. There are other setup command line options to control what parts, if any, of the PDF Image Printer user interface and tools are installed. You can hide all of PDF Image Printer's user interface and install just your custom printer, or pick and choose what parts of the UI you want available to your users.
