EMF Printer Spool File Viewer

EMF Printer Spool File Viewer is used to view EMF spool file, which is an independent format usually held in the raw printer page definition language not officially documented by Microsoft (spool file is only supported by PCL, PostScript or one of many other options but not in Windows NT, 2000, 2003, and XP). This article reveals that it is a series of enhanced metafile records and numerous record types specifically in business. Select the menu File->Open in viewing the EMF spool file. A dialog box will appear allowing you to browse the spool file (with file extension .spl) and these will typically held in your $winnt$\System32\spool\ directory. If you want to send a file who doesn't have the application for viewing, use the application's print function and send the spool file to them since EMF spool file serves as a quick and dirty portable document format. Spool file has the structure of parsing the file in extracting information from it. If you want to extract only the text from a printed document for archiving, parse the file and extract the EMR_EXTTEXTOUTA and EMR_EXTTEXTOUTW records.
