Re: command line
Hello christophe_eis,
You will need to open the Viewer, load one file, open the printing dialogue window and select "auto rotate sheets", then print one page of it.
Then you can export those settings to a data file, and add a parameter to your command line: /usep <setting_file_name> , or you could leave the "Auto Rotate" turned on in the stand alone Viewer, and use the default settings (if no settings parameter is passed the current Viewer settings would be used).
Best,
Stefan

Re: command line
Hello Stephan,
It's ok, but the viewer is not closed automatically. I'm trying to use te command line "/close" at the end of the command but it's not ok.
"C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\PDFXCview.exe /usep C:\pdf.dat /print:printer=PrintToUsed +"file.pdf" /close
Thanks

Re: command line
Hello Christophe,
You will need to pass one of three parameters for the Close command:
/close[:save|discard|ask]
And this is actually just closing the document specified, and not the whole Viewer
As you are just printing I suppose discard is the one you need.
(e.g. /close:mode=discard %test.pdf )

Re: command line
Stephan,
so, if i undestand there are no solutions to close the whole viewer automatically if i use the command line "usep".
I'm trying to use the tskill command with PID to close the whole viewer.
Thanks you for your help.

Re: command line
Hello Christophe,
If you use the /usep i am afraid that you will need to kill the process after.
But if you make the default settings in the viewer to be "Auto Rotate Sheets" - there should be no need to pass a separate profile when printing through the command line.

Stefan

Re: command line
Hello,
I would like to print on a multi-tray printer using command line. Is it possible to define the tray to use on command line ?

Re: command line
Hello christophe,
I do not believe this is possible, as on the command line you can only tell the Viewer that you want to print, and set up the printing preferences in the Viewer itself, while the different trays are settings in the printer - you will need to control the trays in a different manner.
E.g. check in the printer settings if there is an option to set the first page to be printed from "tray 1" and all the rest of the pages from "tray 2"
Is this the kind of thing you want to achieve?

Stefan

Re: command line
Hello Stephan,
no, i want to print a document either on tray 1 or either on tray 2. According the document i want to print, it's the operator who choose the tray to print. If it' not possible i'll declare two printer withh one tray different.

Hi christophe,
Yes this seems like a viable solution as well.
