I want a program (for MS Windows environment) which does the following when installed on a computer: - I have divided the development of this program in a few stages. STAGE I 1. It creates a folder named C:\pdfprints on the computer. 2. A shortcut to this folder is created on the desktop of the user. This shortcut is named as "pdfprints" 3. Any new pdf file placed in this folder is automatically opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader. Files already lying in the folder are not opened automatically. STAGE II 4. We want to have the option of opening the Printer dialogue box automatically once any new pdf file lands up in the pdfprints folder, so that the printer can be selected from the printer dialogue box and print command given. STAGE III 5. We also want to have the option of selecting the default printer and automatically printing the file directly on the default printer even without manually giving the print command. STAGE IV 6. Graphic of our Company should be displayed during the process of installation and preferably even at the time of printing. Graphic will be provided. 7. The Program (with our Graphic embedded) should be encryptable so that no one can change the graphic or other content, except us. 8. A license agreement dialogue box should appear during installation ( text will be provided and should be editable). End of STAGE IV (This program should be able to work properly on Windows 2000/ XP/ ME/2003.) Testing environment for the Windows 2003 server will be provided if so required by the coder. Remote access to a Windows 2003 server for testing purposes will be provided. Please provide four quotes for this program as follows: - Quote for Stage I Quote for Stage I + II Quote for Stage I+II+III Quote for Stage I + II + III + IV If you are comfortable only up to a particular stage then please provide quote up to that stage only. There is no compulsion to provide quote for all stages. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Thursday Nov 2, 2006 6:39:30 AM: I would like to explain the context of our project. We are using terminal services on a Windows 2003 server and we would like to simplify printing. We are going to use PDFCreator ([login to view URL]) on the Windows 2003 terminal server which is a PDF printer (creates pdf files of print jobs). The PDF creator can be configured to automatically save the pdf files on the clients' C: drive. One can also designate a folder where the pdf prints will be automatically stored on the client's computer. We have designated this folder as "pdfprints". So the pdf files generated on the terminal server through pdf creator will be automatically saved on the client's C:\pdfprints folder. Since the pdf files will be saved over a slow internet link, a larger pdf file (say 250 KB pdf file) may take up to 60 seconds to land up completely in the pdfprints folder. This must be taken in to account while programming. ## Platform Windows XP, Windows 2000, ME, Windows 2003
