Can anyone please help me with the following code?

I am just trying to print but get a blank page:

    Set QP = CreateObject("iSED.QuickPDF")
    Call QP.UnlockKey.....

    QP.LoadFromFile (inFilename)

    Call QP.PrintDocument(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName, 1, 1, QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, inFilename))

Any chance that it is an encrypted document? If so try to unencrypt it before printing.
(this way I can reproduce your described behaviour, otherwise your code snippet works for me)

best regards,
Ulrich

Hi. No the document is not encrypted.

The behaviour is that the printer starts and acknowledges 1 pages being sent to it but just ejects a blank page with no print.

Best Regards
Mick

Hi, Thanks for the reply, but I am not sure how to use the RenderTo in this example? Can you give some more hints please?

In Adobe Reader, Document Properties/Security, make sure Printing is Allowed.

Does the PDF have any images, especially TIF images? QuickPDF has "issues" with some images.

Hi, This is a very basic document with no images that I can print using Adobe Reader. It was also created using using iSEDQuickPDF

Set QP = CreateObject("iSED.QuickPDF")
    Call QP.UnlockKey.....

    QP.LoadFromFile (inFilename)
    vDummy = QP.RenderPageToVariant(72,1,3)
    Call QP.PrintDocument(QP.GetDefaultPrinterName, 1, 1, QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, inFilename))

I, have some PDF's
thats only display correctly (RenderPageTo...) after the second call of RenderPageToStream (only Delphi, for dll RenderPageToString, for ActiveX RenderPageToVariant see Doku). Maybe you have the same problem.
