access individual printer settings

[MartinCS]

Hi Tracker Team,

We would like to offer our costumers the option to do a batch print of %n document(s). In the first loop we display the user the standard print dialog of the pdf xchange viewer:

Code: Select all

AxCoPDFXCview1.PrintDocument(tDocumentWindowID, 0)

For the following documents we don't open up the dialog using:

Code: Select all

AxCoPDFXCview1.PrintDocument(tDocumentWindowID, PDFXCviewAxLib.PXCVA_Flags.PXCVA_NoUI)

Is there a possibility to access (read/write) the printer settings of any installed printer on the local computer?

Our idea is to save the printer settings of the selected printer (paper roation etc.) set by the user in the printer dialog. So far, I wasnt able to access these settings and the printer looses the settings with the second document loop.

I hope you have any help.

Hello Martin,

I will need to double check this with the devs to get a confirmation, but our default print dialogue is not designed to send the settings selected by the user back to the printing application, so in order to grab them, you will need to implement your own print dialogue - so that you can capture the user's choices and then apply them on consecutive prints.

Best,
Stefan

Currently, you cannot do it using our Viewer ActiveX SDK.. But another way exists for you - you may use other our Viewer SDK - the PDF-XChange Viewer Simple DLL SDK.
With this SDK you will be able to implement your own printing-feature (and dialog) as required...
