Re: PDF Printing support from Python

Grant's example is not for Windows, Daniel, but it does illustrate a
certain principle: if you have a printer driver that understands PDF,
or some other external software such as Acrobat Reader that understands
PDF, then printing the PDF is as simple as telling the OS to just print
the file.

If you are looking for some software that acts as a PDF-understanding
interpreter, that must run under Windows 98, I don't know of any
written in Python. However, you might want to research some of the
available non-Python utilities. Ghostscript, for example, is available
at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ and has a version for Win32. You
could easily use Python to drive GhostScript.

Does that fit your needs?
