Does anyone know of a good image virtual printers for Windows 7? (Preferably free ...)
I use Gnostice Print2eDoc in Win XP and it works great. Basically, when I buy things over the Internet, I save the email or page invoice as a PDF file, then I print that to a jpg file so I can attach it to an entry in Quicken. However, Vista/Windows 7 changed the print system to be an administrator-level process. Although Print2eDoc, Virtual Image Printer, and several others I have tried still can be made to work, when you print suddenly the screen goes black and Win 7 pops up a security screen saying a dialog is trying to interact, blah, blah, blah.
I'm primarily interested in outputting either jpg or GIF, since some documents have more than 255 colors and a lot of applications won't take TIFF (or the TIFF comes out quite large.)
(In a way, this can be related to Sesame--Sesame can't view PDF's, etc., directly, but if a document can be converted to images, those could be displayed directly in Sesame. I'm not trying to do that, but having that capability would make this "not off in the weeds.")
Since it's a personal application only used occasionally, I'd really prefer not to spend $30+, which is what the commercial/shareware packages are going for.
