Hi all,

we need to print pdf with some special printer setup. Is there any way how to print with a printer dialog from library? I found there is a function PrintDocumentToPrinterObject. We wanted to try some printing but in library version 13.11 this function is not available. Is this function available only with a delphi source code license? We use Delphi XE8.

Thanks, Jan

Hi Jan,

with these functions and few more (in the online reference at chapter "...rendering...") you can design your own printer dialogue.

I have the functions from the 13.11-source:

function PrintDocumentToPrinterObject(APrinter: TPrinter; StartPage, EndPage, Options: Integer): Integer;

function PrintPagesToPrinterObject(APrinter: TPrinter; const PageRanges: WideString; Options: Integer): Integer;

function PrintOptions(PageScaling, AutoRotateCenter: Integer; const Title: WideString): Integer;

function PrintMode(Mode: Integer): Integer;

function GetPrintPreviewBitmapToString(const PrinterName: WideString; PreviewPage, PrintOptions, MaxDimension, PreviewOptions: Integer): AnsiString;

function NewCustomPrinter(const OriginalPrinterName: WideString): WideString;

function SetupCustomPrinter(const CustomPrinterName: WideString; Setting, NewValue: Integer): Integer;

function RequestPrinterStatus(StatusCommand: Integer): Integer;

function NewInternalPrinterObject(Options: Integer): Integer;

Cheers and welcome here,

Ingo

Hi Ingo,

is there a way how we can try this functionality (PrintDocumentToPrinterObject) with a trial dll version 13.11 before we buy a source code licence? Just to verify if it solves some printing problems we had with our previous pdf component...

Thanks,

Jan

Hi Jan,

here you can ask for a 30-days-trial-version with a testkey included:
