Print a document but also output to text

I'm trying to figure out how to issue two copies of a report, one to actually print normally and another as a text file that I can parse reliably.

I was thinking that could be done by setting up two virtual printers:

a) the user selects the first virtual printer, which would be set up with the real printer's driver and a Reprint action that would send the output to that real printer. That driver would also have a second Reprint action to send a copy of file to the second virtual printer.

b) the second virtual printer would be defined as Generic/Text Only and could then have the Write File action attached to it.

Would that work or is there a better way? I'm trying Print Distributor for the first time, so is a Generic/Text driver the best way to generate a text file that can be parsed?

Tim,

When you reprint Print Distributor bypasses the driver so this won't work.

The only option we have at the moment is to use the generic text driver to write to file and for the printing.
