Print Files

A print file is a document that has been spooled to a file through the printing process. The only way to create a print file is to print from the application, which causes the document's contents to be spooled in a print file. If you wish, your application can retrieve a print file and insert, delete, or replace pages.

One kind of file an application might retrieve is a portable digital document, which is the kind of file that is created by selecting the PDD Maker GX desktop printer icon and then printing the document or by dragging the document to the icon. For an example of this icon, see Figure 1-4 on page 1-9.
