Hook Windows Printer and save print jobs to PDF or TIFF or JPEG files

I need to capture print jobs that are sent to a printer queue that is part of a Print Server. The goal is to produce a PDF document that is saved in a folder rather than sending it out to the physical printer device.

Will any of your products do that? I looked at hookprinter and the SDK but don't see anything related to intercepting jobs sent through a print server.
