RenderPageToDC Problem

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

   I am trying to print a PDF inside a larger document.The pages are not the same size as the original PDF so I also have to scale them a little as well as position them lower on the page to have room for a barcode at the top.

The scaling appears to work by calling the SetRenderScale() function.
but the SetRenderDCOffset doesn't do what I think it should do.  I can increase the Y value and it does move the document down the page, but it gets cut off at the bottom like it still thinks the pages ends at the scaled 11 inches.  Also the barcode stops printing when I do that, but that may be another issue.  When the Offset is not set, the barcode prints ok, but with the text of the PDF over it.  When I shift the PDF down 300 dots (1 inch), the barcode no longer prints, and the bottom of the document is cut off even though there is plenty of page left.  The rest of the document I am printing uses the entire page without any problem.

Any ideas?

	Hello, Which version of Debenu Quick PDF Library are you using ? We have recently fixed a bug in the SetRenderDCOffset code and this fix has been included in DQPL 10.12 Beta 2 which can be downloaded from here http://www.debenu.com/blog/debenu-quick-pdf-library-10-12-beta-2-released.html I am not sure of the full details of the fix but the fix is documented as Fixed initial clipping when an offset is used with rendering to DC Andrew.
