Processing EMF data using the Print Processor

When using the Print Processor, there are several ways you can handle EMF files sent to the StreamServer. These settings are configured using the StreamServe Print Processor configuration utility. See Configuring the Print Processor.

Processing EMF data using the Print Processor

1 LXF conversion enabled?

When a Windows print spool file is sent to the StreamServer, the Print Processor detects the file and determines whether LXF conversion is enabled (Output LXF format is selected).

If LXF conversion is enabled, the Print Processor will convert all EMF files to LXF format.

If LXF conversion is disabled, the EMF data is sent directly to the StreamServer, without converting, via the HTTP protocol. When LXF conversion is disabled, you can still substitute temporary fonts in the data with StreamServe recognized fonts.

2 Send data to an output file?

You can send the converted LXF data to an output file in a local directory, or to the StreamServer via the HTTP protocol.

If you send the data to an output file, you can also configure the following options using the Print Processor:

–	Create unique file names only

–	Prompt for file names

–	Run a command (with parameters) after the file is created

–	Automatically open the output file in the associated application

–	Create plain multi-page LXF output (with no control tags)

–	Include exact text position in the output file

–	Embed text character widths in the output file

–	Convert all paths to polygons in the output file

–	Substitute temporary fonts in the file to StreamServe recognized fonts

–	Create a log file
