Hello, I'm using Version 8.16 and want to merge some PDF's together. They have different orientations, the first is landscape, the second is portrait, both A4. MergeFileList creates a PDF in A4 portrait, the first document is printed only the left side (information fitting on A4 portrait). Can I change this behaviour, and how ?

Hi Steve!

If you change the order the result will be different but still not okay ;-)
I didn't make this experiences with earlier versions and i won't expect such problems now.
An idea: Perhaps the landscape-pdf was a portrait-pdf first and then rotated to landscape?
So internally it's still managed as portrait and for displaying it will be turned.
If i'm right you can check the rotation first before merging.
An easy but ugly way to avoid the problems could be to set the dimensions first to 852 x 852 ;-)
Hope i could give you some ideas...

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

The following code should solve the problem. PrintOptions(1,1.. turns on AutoFit and AutoRotate for printing.

Andrew.

QP.LoadFromFile("271227000001.PDF", "");

for (int i = 1; i <= QP.PageCount(); i++)

{

QP.SelectPage(i);

QP.NormalizePage(0);

}

int iPrintOptions = QP.PrintOptions(1, 1, "Printing Sample");

QP.PrintDocument(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName(), 1, QP.PageCount(), iPrintOptions);
