Hello,

I'm developing a VB 6.0 printing program on an XP Pro, SP3 computer.

It reads in a text file and prints a lot of the text on plain white paper not really formatted and some of it will placed on a preprinted PDF delivery ticket. Some of the text is used to find multi-page PDF files that will need to be merged between some of the text pages.

The printing part of it needs to:

Print text pages with no special formatting

Print PDF documents between certain pages

Wait until all pages are ready before printing

Release pages as packets so that the printer staples each packet.

I'd like to have some duplex printing on some pages

I'm looking for any tips or advice about how to accomplish those needs using QuickPDF library.

Should I create different documents or are different pages good enough?

Should I just make it one long document and keep adding text pages and PDF documents to it and then print it all in one release with the PrintDocument command?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

1. You may have to create the document as a duplexed document from the beginning. Therefore you would need to insert blank pages yourself.

2. If you want to staple the documents then the best chance you will have to get this working is to have a single document containing all the pages.

3. Use the text formatting and printing functions to generate your text only pages and then use MergeDocument or one of the other merge functions to append the PDF documents.
