Hi,
I am developing a v4 printer driver for a custom printer which will be able to only print bitmap files - all other formats should be discarded.
This printer requires some software pre-processing (which I am implementing within a custom v4 render filter component) to be performed on the bitmap itself, without any tranformations.
Is there a way to get a handle of the original bitmap within the render filter?
Current solution is to extract the image from the XPS stream as an IXpsOMImageResource object. Unfortunately, this image differs slightly from the original bitmap because the XPS writer changes the format either to a JPG or to a PNG.
Basically my target is to have the raw bitmap inside the render filter, without any transormation involved (e.g. by disabling or replacing the XPS writer).
Is this possible?
Many Thanks,
Carlo
