2015-12-27T20:45:32-08:00

Batch recipe 579142 by Vasudev Ram (pdf, pdfwriter, pdf_generation, processes, process_management, python, windows).

This recipe shows how you can generate a Windows process list or task list (basically, a list of running processes, with some information about each of them), to a PDF file, using the Windows TASKLIST command along with the xtopdf toolkit.
