Change paper size problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

    Hello,
    In my application I need to print PDF documents on different paper sizes (A1, A3, A4...). The problem is that I cannot change the printer's default paper size. What am I doing wrong?

void QuickPDF_Print()

{
QuickPDFAX0721.PDFLibrary qp = new QuickPDFAX0721.PDFLibrary();

int result = qp.UnlockKey("my key...");

if (result == 1)

{
// Load the document that you want to print into memory

qp.LoadFromFile(Filename);
qp.SetPageSize("A4"); 

// Set the paramters for the PrintDocument function

string PrinterName = PrintingOptions.Printer;

int StartPage = 1; // Set first page number

int EndPage = qp.PageCount(); // Set last page number

// Set the paramters for the PrintOptions function

int PageScaling = 1;

int AutoRotateCenter = 1;

string Title = Filename;

// Assign the options for printing to an int variable

int Options = qp.PrintOptions(PageScaling, AutoRotateCenter, Title);

// Print the document with the required paramters and options specified

qp.PrintDocument(PrinterName, StartPage, EndPage, Options);
}
}

	To acoomplish what you're trying to do you'll need to use the custom printer functions. NewCustomPrinter http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/NewCustomPrinter.php SetupCustomPrinter http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/SetupCustomPrinter.php Some info on the custom printer functions here: http://help.quickpdflibrary.com/questions/53/how-do-i-use-the-setupcustomprinter-function And here is some JScript sample code which demonstrates how to use the functions: -------------------------------------------------------- /* Create a custom printer and specify your own settings */ // Load a sample file from the input folder QP.LoadFromFile(GetInputFolder() + "JavaScript.pdf"); // Create the custom printer CustomPrinter = QP.NewCustomPrinter("Microsoft XPS Document Writer"); // Setup the settings for the customer printer // Medium quality QP.SetupCustomPrinter(CustomPrinter, 5, 2); // Monochrome QP.SetupCustomPrinter(CustomPrinter, 6, 1); // Horizontal Duplex QP.SetupCustomPrinter(CustomPrinter, 7, 3); // Configure print options iPrintOptions = QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, "Printing Sample"); // Print the current document to the default printing // using the options as configured above QP.PrintDocument(CustomPrinter, 1, 1, iPrintOptions); -------------------------------------------------------- So you need to setup the printer and the paper size for your customer printer before you call the PrintDocument function.
