Peter,

Sorry we don't have a release date at the moment.

Any estimate on the v2.0 yet? Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I could run Mail Print with FireDaemon (www.firedaemon.com)? It is not possible to test the "service-ability" with the demo version because the trial reminder is displayed on program startup. But as long as the service is started as a user with sufficient privileges, it would seem that the Mail Print process would be able to access Acrobat COM interface (I'm trying to auto-print MyFax.com faxes which arrive in PDF format, though they do offer TIFF also which would be printable internally with Mail-Print).

If you are going to run as a service you have to remember Mail Print stores all its settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER so you need to run the service under an account which you have configured Mail Print in.

We still have quite a bit of work to do on version 2.0

Thanks for the quick reply. I bought a license so that I could test as I was pretty sure it would work. And yes, it does work! I'm running Mail Print with FireDaemon and Acrobat 8.1 to print attachments only (i.e. arrived faxes) on a network printer!

I configured Mail Print under the server admin account and then configured the FireDaemon service run as the same user.
