Print Silently

[nemler]

Do you have a code example available for printing silently with a predefined set of Printersettings? I am needing to be able to print PDF files when the user clicks a button and not have it display a dialog but print to a printer other than the default printer.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards,
Nate

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Here is the code for your reference.

Code: Select all

PdfDocument[] docs = {
           new PdfDocument("D:\\testfile\\Pdf\\pdf_1.pdf"),
           new PdfDocument("D:\\testfile\\Pdf\\pdf_2.pdf"),
           new PdfDocument("D:\\testfile\\Pdf\\Image.pdf")
            };//Load pdf files
            foreach (PdfDocument doc in docs)
            {   
                doc.PageSettings.Size = PdfPageSize.A4;
                doc.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
                doc.PageScaling = PdfPrintPageScaling.FitSize;
                doc.PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer";//Set the name of your printer.               
                doc.PrintDocument.Print();
            }

Hello ICEBLUE-Team,

I have a similar query, I am currently showing the printing dialog and the user chooses a printer. Then I am looping through a list of PDFs which all get printed with the same Settings that were originally chosen by the user. (I do not want to merge them).

What I like to avoid is the window that pops up, saying "printing page 1, printing page 2, printing page 3" for each of the documents. It is a lot of windows popping up if there are a couple of PDFs with some pages each to print. #

Is there any way to "mute" those Windows?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using our component.
Please try the following code snippet.

Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument doc = new Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument();
           doc.LoadFromFile(DocumentFilePath);
           System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDoc = doc.PrintDocument;
           printDoc.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
           printDoc.Print();

Hello Amy,

sorry, me again! I've got one more question. I have noticed, that my print dialog sometimes appears in the background. After doing some research, I have found that whilst the print preview does have some property to bring it to the front, the actual print dialog does not have this option. Is there a way around this problem with Spire?

Thank you in advance!
Laura

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your further inquiry.
Please try the following solution.

Code: Select all

 Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument doc = new Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument();
           doc.LoadFromFile(DocumentFilePath);
           PrintDialog dialogPrint = new PrintDialog();
           dialogPrint.AllowPrintToFile = true;
           dialogPrint.AllowSomePages = true;
           dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.MinimumPage = 1;
           dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.MaximumPage = doc.Pages.Count;
           dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.FromPage = 1;
           dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.ToPage = doc.Pages.Count;
           if (dialogPrint.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
           {
               doc.PrintFromPage = dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
               doc.PrintToPage = dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
               doc.PrinterName = dialogPrint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
               PrintDocument printDoc = doc.PrintDocument;
               printDoc.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
               dialogPrint.Document = printDoc;
               printDoc.Print();
           }

Dear Team,

I have the similar need to print multiple files in a folder silently. I am able to do so but I could see the fonts are not same and when ever any text is bold the very next text is miss-aligned.

here my code snip:
Spire.Pdf.PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile(file); //full file path
doc.PrinterName = "my printer name";
doc.PrintDocument.DocumentName = "filename";
doc.PrintDocument.Print();

can you help?
