Yes, you can download and install Hookprinter SDK from this web page,
https://www.verypdf.com/app/hookprinter/try-and-buy.html#hookprinter-sdk
https://www.verypdf.com/dl2.php/HookPrinter.zip
after you install it to your system, you can use it to hook printing from all applications in your system.
>>Can I use it to read data before file will be print?
Yes, you can use it to read data before file will be print, however, this function needs some custom development, because the current version of Hookprinter SDK is used to capture print jobs to disk files, if you need to read data before printing, we need to modify Hookprinter SDK, so it's need some additional development.
