PDF Printing

[Russ Marzolf]

We are looking at purchasing Essential PDF, I was wondering if the control can send the PDF directly to a printer.

Thanks

Hi Russ,

I am afraid that currently we do not provide support for Printing pdf file. However, it is possible by using the below workaround.

This can be done using the Process class and specifying the verb as "Print". This is the equivalent of right clicking and selecting print in the windows shell. Here is the code snippet that prints documents like MS Excel, MS Word, pdf etc..

Process pr = new Process();
pr.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";
pr.StartInfo.FileName = "Sample.pdf";
pr.Start();

Please refer the following link which explains

I have attached a sample for your reference. However, please note that, it opens the adobe viewer(not the PDF document) and has been hidden once it starts printing.

Kindly let me know if this helps you.

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Can EssentialPDF be used to print a document in a non interactive mode.

I need to create a nighly print job to print PDFs that WILL NOT interact with an end-user.

Not just the default printer for the current user, so shelling out to the OS will not work.

I was hoping to use DocIO and/or the PDF class.

Are there any samples?

Any advice...

Sorry for re-opening so old thread, but I found this:

http://help.syncfusion.com/ug/windows%20forms/pdf%20viewer/documents/silentprinting.htm

So with the PDF Viewer control, it's now possibile to print a PDF document without external dependencies?

This is not working for web applications.

Can you help me on this for Web Application.

Thanks
