Sometimes we all need to take a break from coding and print out our source code to see where we are and where we need to go, locate bugs, and identify areas for improvement. Having PrettyCode.Print on your desktop can have numerous benefits. Once your project is finished, you can produce a beautiful paper backup of your VB code. Use samples of code in your proposals, technical briefs, and presentations. Impress your clients, managers, or colleagues with the professionalism of a PrettyCode.Print printout while explaining a certain point.

Note: PCP/VB6 does not support .NET projects - see PrettyCode.Print for .NET if you need to print VB.NET or C# code.

PrettyCode.Print is an Add-In for Visual Basic and Office 2000 and higher that enables you to print the source code of your Visual Basic projects.

Use it as fully integrated with the VB/Office Add-In or standalone source code printer

Create your own style for all your project documentation. Once you've defined your own settings, everything you print will look consistent and professional - the way you want it.
