About argument from virtual printer. about cube.vp.docs

[clown]

The command line for executing the user program is as follows:

UserProgram.exe
    -DocumentName  DOCUMENT_NAME
    -InputFile  C:\ProgramData\CubeSoft\CubeVP\PSTF012.tmp
    -Digest  SHA256_HASH
    -UserName  USER_NAME
    -MachineName  MACHINE_NAME
    -DeleteOnClose
    -Exec  Path\To\UserProgram.exe

Therefore, args[0] is "-DocumentName", args[1] is "DOCUMENT_NAME", args[2] is "-InputFile", ..., and so on.
Note that this order may be changed in future versions, so please do not parse it completely fixed. (When parsing, use the "-" option base.)

Here is a description of each argument:

• DocumentName
  An application executes a print command by specifying a value called the "document name". This argument passes the specified document name to the user program.
• InputFile
  This represents the path of the temporary file where the virtual printer saves the print data (PostScript). The temporary file is saved in the folder specified as the working folder (Temp) when the virtual printer is installed.
• Digest
  This represents the result of calculating the SHA-256 hash value for the content of the temporary file. This value is used to detect corruption or tampering of the print data.
  Example: 84e72201691f3869287ec95923c9b2b102f188e758d467d66b7d77690dc61048
• UserName
  This represents the username when the print command was executed.
• MachineName
  This represents the name of the terminal where the print command was executed.
• DeleteOnClose
  This argument tells the virtual printer to delete the file specified in InputFile. The virtual printer exits with the generated temporary file in its current state. Therefore, any post-processing such as deleting the temporary file is the responsibility of the user program.
• Exec
  This specifies the path to the user program itself. This argument is used by the program CubeProxy.exe, which switches from the SYSTEM account to the logged-on user account. Therefore, if the user program is executed directly without going through CubeProxy.exe, Exec may not be specified.

Thank you for your response.

I want to convert Excel(.xlsx) to PDF using this program, but would it be difficult to convert?

[clown]

Yes. Since the CubeVP (CubePDF SDK) itself is a PostScript to PDF conversion program, it must be converted to PostScript format once in order to use the program. Since this is currently handled by the virtual printer part, it is difficult to convert directly from Excel to PDF.

OK. I understand.
Thank you for your response.
