Abstract

A virtual printing system includes a driver system, a network, a virtual print server, a database, and a search and report terminal to capture and store a print stream in PDF or PDF/A format. The driver system captures and converts metadata and print data from the client devices into a print stream. The virtual printer receives and prints the print stream as PDF or PDF/A files. The search and report terminal aids in searching within the PDF or PDF/A files.
