DownloadBlack Ice EMF Printer Drivers can convert any printable file into an Enhanced Metafile (EMF). Since the EMF format is a vector format, metafiles are used primarily by applications that require further processing of the printed documents. EMF Printer Drivers can also extract ASCII text from a printed file in addition to generating EMF output.
EMF Printer Drivers are Royalty Free allowing developers to bundle and distribute the EMF Printer Driver as part of their own application with no per user fees.
The EMF Printer Driver API
Black Ice EMF Printer Driver API/Resource Toolkit (RTK) enables developers to control every aspect of document creation. The API-RTK includes over 400+ functions and methods for C++, C#, VB.NET, and ASP.NET developers to control the document conversion process.
Black Ice EMF Printer Driver, combined with the Resource Tool Kit – Application Programming Interface (API), offers developers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) the capability to integrate, customize, or build advanced document management systems. The Resource Tool Kit – API is a collection of utilities and sample source codes for sophisticated developers to build state-of-the-art business solutions.
In order to assist Black Ice Printer Driver users to accomplish printing and Black Ice Printer Driver-related tasks, a Printer Driver Resource Toolkit package is provided FREE of charge with the purchase of any Black Ice Generic Printer Driver. For those wanting to download the DEMO version of a printer driver can also download the Printer Driver Resource Toolkit DEMO to complement it.
