MiraPrint provides a multi platform solution to print special formatting, graphics, and text and barcodes using the standard Progress® 4GL / Openedge® ABL. It is compatible with both Windows™ platforms and *nix (Unix / Linux) as well. Additionally, it can be called from within Webspeed® applications, enabling you to create dynamic presentation quality reports from your web enabled applications.

  • Format reports, forms or business communication materials with graphical objects and multiple fonts.
  • Use your favorite graphics application to create form overlays as EPS objects, or
  • Use the built-in Form Source Language to create high-speed print overlays.
  • Use the included barcode tools to print high quality barcodes.

Using MiraPrint, you will be able to format reports to print to PostScript® printers, or PostScript® translators such as GhostScript®. The full power of the Progress® 4GL / Openedge® ABL is in your hands when designing and outputting your reports. The included MiraPrint Form Source language enables you to design forms (or macros) to be called at will in the 4GL.

Scalability and ease of use are a key concerns for us here so we've built MiraPrint with that in mind. One of MiraPrint's key features is the ability to convert existing reports designed to be used with pre-printed forms; to reports that include the form image with very little programming effort. Simply add 2-3 lines of code to your existing report and you're ready to go.

Cross-platform compatibility enables you to run many of your reports on either the client or the server. You aren't tied to any operating system API calls. If you change platforms in the future, MiraPrint is ready.

Electronic Document Archiving is a breeze with MiraPrint. Simply direct your MiraPrint output stream to go through a Postscript processor such as GhostScript and out comes a PDF version of your form ready to preview in Adobe Acrobat® or electronically archive for later retrival through your WebSpeed™ application.

Using a PostScript® interpreter such as GhostScript® you are able to create documents that print on virtually any printer, or convert the documents to .PDF (Acrobat® Portable Document Format) files on the fly.
