I've developed a program that will convert pdf and word docs into tiff files and then use those files immediately after print to load into another system. This has been working good when the documents are small and quick to print. However, if I sent a much larger word document, it's taking a long time to complete the conversion to tiff. I'm using vb.net and I've created a console application. I've tried adding the event to my code that says when it's done with the job, but the events don't seem to fire until my code is not using the CPU.
Is there another way of determining when the print job is done other than using the event? Is there a function call that I can call to give me the status of the print job? If I was writing a windows form app and just printing one doc, the event would be fine, but with a console application(batch process), it's kind of hard to look for an event to fire.
