Is it possible to enhance the pdf-plugin where we can do the following.

Create a virtual pdf-printer in the OS from out of Servoy?  
Than print a Word document to that pdf, (we can do that now with the new Word plugin of IT2be. ![:-)]( "Smile") )  
and retrieve that printjob back into Servoy?

Why we want this?

We use a lot of Word (rtf) documents, with tags, so customers can create there own print-outs. But we loose the function than, to create a pdf out of it and mail it to the customer. ![:-(]( "Sad")

I am willing to donate (and I hope others) , for such a functionallity.

Can someone confirm, if this is possible with the pdf-plugin?  
or else we have to search for other alternatives

That is definetely not possible. Servoy has no access to local printer queues or Word printer jobs.
