Set Printer Settings to Duplex

[yzou79]

Can Spire.PDFViewer or other component control printer's duplex setting. I would like to dynamically set duplex settings based on the PDF file name. Some files print as Singleplex and others as duplex.

Hi,

Thanks for your interests in our products.
Spire.PDFViewer supports to set printer settings to duplex, here is sample code for your reference:

Code: Select all

            //Indicate whether the printer supports duplex
            bool value =  this.pdfDocumentViewer1.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.CanDuplex;
            //If so, set the printer's duplex setting: Default, Simplex, Horizontal, Vertical
            this.pdfDocumentViewer1.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.Duplex = System.Drawing.Printing.Duplex.Simplex;
            this.pdfDocumentViewer1.PrintDocument.Print();

Also, the Spire.PDF also supports the feature, the code is similar with the code above.
If there is any question, welcome to get it back to us.

Sincerely,
Betsy,

Thanks for your reply.

I use the demo solution "VBDemos-VS2010" to run a test. The duplex printing works OK with one issue. The first page is always printed blank no matter I use duplex or simplex. I tried different PDF. The first page printed is always blank. In one instance, blank page is printed randomly in other pages too.

By the way, I will use commercial copy of Spire.PDFViewer once I test it OK. Can I get a copy of the commercial edition to see if it has the same problem (blank printed page)

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.
Please try to use the commercial latest Spire.PDFViewer Pack Version:2.10, if the issue persists, please provide us the sample document to help us do the investigation.
Also, you can contact our sales team(sales@e-iceblue.com) to get a temporary license file for one month to remove the warning message and have a better evaluation on our products.
