How to convert vsd files to pdf documents in batch processing?

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Polestar Virtual Printer is able to convert vsd files to pdf documents in batch processing. The following JScript codes enumerate all vsd files in the specified directory then open and print them one by one to Polestar Virtual Printer.
var fso = new ActiveXObject(”Scripting.FileSystemObject”);//for enumerating vsd files
var f = fso.GetFolder(”c:\\test”);
var fc = new Enumerator(f.files);

var visio = new ActiveXObject(”Visio.Application”);//visio application
visio.Visible = false;
var docs = visio.Documents;

for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext())
{
    var fn = fc.item() + “”;     //file name
     if(fn.substr(fn.length-4, 4).toLowerCase() != “.vsd”)     //handles only vsd file
     continue;

    var doc = docs.Open(fn);  //open the vsd document
   doc.PrintOut(0,                  //print all
                           0,                  //from
                           0,                  //to
                          false,           //ScaleCurrentViewToPaper
                        ”Polestar Virtual Printer”,   //printer name
                          false);

     doc.Close();                   //close the document
     WScript.Sleep(3000);
}

visio.Quit();                   //shut down visio

How to Use Polestar Virtual Printer

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

IIt has a tiny interface which lets you install or uninstall the driver for the virtual printer, make a printing test or read the help menu. It works just as a real printer. Just right click the needed file and choose the print command. If you don’t have any other printer installed, Polestar Virtual Printer will automatically recognize the file and it will ask where it should save the file and in what format. After this the file will be converted. If you have another printer installed, you will have to choose first the virtual printer, and after this Polestar Virtual Printer will recognize the file.
