Hi!

I am running pdfcreator as an server installation and it works fine.

When I print a document from a client computer on the pdf-printer on the server with number of copies x > 1 then the job is created in the PDF-Temp-Spooler-Directory with x * page numbers of the original document.

For example I print a document with 100 pages and number of copies = 3, then the print_job contains 300 pages (3 times the same).

Is there a possibility to create the job only 1 time (in this example only 1 time the 100 pages) and read out the value for number of copies?

It would be very nice to have this because in our network we convert every print job to 1-page tiff files and send them to the printer (don't ask why). So if someone send a job about 500 pages and wants to print 10 copies of it it takes a very long time to convert 5000 pages to tiff. If it would only convert 500 pages and I have the information that it should print out 10 times, I can send the 500 tiff-images 10 times to the printer (this function already exists). So I want to save time at converting the documents.

Is there a way to do this??

Thanks,
Jens
