miPDFconvert 1.0.2

miPDFconvert is a virtual PDF printer for Windows. Install it, print to the miPDFconvert printer from any application, and get a PDF — either handed to a configurable target application or saved through a dialog.

What's new in 1.0.2

• Silent installs no longer hang on systems without .NET Framework 4.8 (e.g. a default Windows Server 2019): the SetupHelper used during driver installation now targets .NET Framework 4.7.2, so it runs out of the box instead of waiting on an invisible "install .NET Framework?" dialog.
• Faster install/uninstall: removed a leftover COM registration step that had been failing silently since the .NET 8 migration.
• Smaller download: internal code cleanup and removal of unused libraries.

No functional changes to printing or PDF output.

Requirements

• Ghostscript — must be installed separately (install the 32-bit build; it matches the x86 printer process): https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html
• .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x86) — required to run the app. On an attended install the setup offers a download link; for silent installs, install it beforehand.
• Windows 10/11 (x64 or ARM64).

Highlights

• Configurable target application via the TARGET_APPLICATION setting — also selectable directly in the installer: the generated PDF is passed automatically to any program you choose. Leave it empty to get a Save As dialog instead. See the README.
• The target window is reliably brought to the foreground (including single-instance / browser-based viewers).

Install

Via winget: winget install mipdfconvert — or download and run miPDFconvertSetup_1.0.2.exe. Administrator rights are required (it installs a printer driver).

The installer, uninstaller and application binaries are Authenticode-signed and timestamped — the verified publisher Wolfgang Mitterbucher is shown in the UAC / SmartScreen dialog. (Windows SmartScreen may still prompt for a brand-new signature until it has built reputation — choose More info → Run anyway.)

miPDFconvert 1.0.1

miPDFconvert is a virtual PDF printer for Windows. Install it, print to the miPDFconvert printer from any application, and get a PDF — either handed to a configurable target application or saved through a dialog.

What's new in 1.0.1

• Silent / unattended install fixed (e.g. winget): the setup no longer shows a prompt and aborts when the VC++ Redistributable or the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime is missing — in silent mode it just logs and continues. The interactive prompt is kept for attended installs.

Requirements

• Ghostscript — must be installed separately (install the 32-bit build; it matches the x86 printer process): https://www.ghostscript.com/releases/gsdnld.html
• .NET 8 Desktop Runtime (x86) — required to run the app. On an attended install the setup offers a download link; for silent installs, install it beforehand.
• Windows 10/11 (x64 or ARM64).

Highlights

• Configurable target application via the TARGET_APPLICATION setting — also selectable directly in the installer: the generated PDF is passed automatically to any program you choose. Leave it empty to get a Save As dialog instead. See the README.
• The target window is reliably brought to the foreground (including single-instance / browser-based viewers).

Install

Via winget: winget install mipdfconvert — or download and run miPDFconvertSetup_1.0.1.exe. Administrator rights are required (it installs a printer driver).

The installer, uninstaller and application binaries are Authenticode-signed and timestamped — the verified publisher Wolfgang Mitterbucher is shown in the UAC / SmartScreen dialog. (Windows SmartScreen may still prompt for a brand-new signature until it has built reputation — choose More info → Run anyway.)
