Episode #27
Hi Leo. In the example of a pdf document, where you cant save form information but you can print it. Is it possible or should i say how do you set up so you can print a document to a file?

Microsoft has its own format for doing this but I prefer PDF since it’s universally supported. There are several programs that add a PDF Printer driver to Windows so you can select it just like a normal printer. I recommend the free PrimoPDF, http://www.primopdf.com/

AutoHotkey is a free, open source macro and automation software which allows users to automate repetitive tasks and modify the Windows user interface. It is driven by a custom scripting language that is aimed specifically at providing keyboard shortcuts or hot keys, and is intended to be backwards compatible with the AutoIt2 language.Many simple and repetitive tasks can be automated with this system. Scripts can launch a program or document, send keystrokes and mouse clicks, set and retrieve variables, run loops, and manipulate windows, files, and folders. A side effect of setting hotkeys is that keys can be remapped or disabled. AutoHotkey also allows ‘hotstrings’ to be replaced as they are typed (e.g. turning “btw” into “by the way”).
