Windows PrintMessenger Installation

MarketDirect StoreFront's PrintMessenger is a print driver application buyers can download from your site that enables them to submit jobs from the File > Print option in the desktop applications they use to create documents (e.g., Microsoft Word, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator). The core of the application is a print driver that converts native file formats to PDF for processing in your MarketDirect StoreFront workflow.

On the Windows PrintMessenger Install page you can adjust the settings that determine how the PrintMessenger installer looks and operates.

 You might be prevented from changing settings for some installers if the installer is being built indicated by the install in progress icon:
