Die pdfMachine ist bedingt Metaframe tauglich. Es sind uns diverse Kunden bekannt, welche das Produkt auf Citrix Metaframe nutzen - ohne Probleme. Jedoch gibt es keinen offiziellen Support von den Entwicklern der pdfMachine dazu.

Wir empfehlen, eine aktuelle Demoversion downzuloaden und auszuprobieren ob alles einwandfrei läuft.

Hier noch eine Doku direkt von der Entwicklung:

When using Citrix / Windows Terminal Server / Remote sessions, can I initiate a pdfMachine print and have the client side send email / save / view ?NOTE: This setup is only necessary if you dont want the default behaviour where the server side sends email / saves / views.

This uses a partially implemented feature of pdfMachine that requires some manual setup.

Server machine setup:
Setup pdfMachine to print to a pdf file and update a text file in directory(s) on the server.
1. Install pdfMachine
2. On the "Next Action tab", set the "Next Action" to "execute command line" and the "Command Line" to "C:\touchx.bat"
3. Create a batch file (e.g. C:\touchx.bat) which updates a file (e.g. c:\tmp\x.txt) in a server directory that clients can access (e.g. "echo blah > c:\tmp\x.txt")
4. On the General tab, set "Save Filename action" to "Use the default dir and default save filename" and set the "default directory" to a server directory that the clients can access (e.g "c:\tmp"), and set the "default filename" to any filename (e.g "x.pdf")

Now when a print is done on the server machine, no user interface is presented, the pdf file c:\tmp\x.pdf is generated, and then the file c:\tmp\x.txt is updated.

Client side setup:
Setup pdfMachine to check the server file periodically. The client side must have a drive mapped which allows access to the directory that the server puts the files into (e.g. x.pdf and x.txt above).
1. Install pdfMachine
2. On the general tab, set "Save Filename action" to "Use the default dir and default save filename" and set the "default directory" and "default filename" to the client side mapping of the path required to access the pdf file (e.g. x.pdf above) on the server.
3. Create a new registry value under the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pdfMachine\Broadgun Software" called "checkfile". Set this to the client side mapping required to access the file (e.g. x.txt) on the server
4. Either reboot the PC or stop and restart bgsmsnd.exe (bgsmsnd.exe is usually in windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2)

Now when the server file c:\tmp\x.txt is updated, the client bgsmsnd.exe notices (the checkfile registry val does this) and will load the pdf file on the client.

NOTE: You can choose to have the file automatically emailed by the client by setting the client option "Next Action" to "Launch default email client". If you want encryption with this option, enable it on the server, not the client.
