OnEndPage

[tdonovan]

I have something that used to work that now seems to be broken.

Private WithEvents PDFPrinter As PXCComLib5.CPXCPrinter

Is not triggering the OnEndPage event. (Also won't trigger the OnStartPage event.) I am creating bookmarks and was using OnEndPage to increment a variable that was tracking what page for the bookmark (which is stored and then at the end added to the file after all pages are there).

Is there something I need to do to trigger this event.

Public Property CurrentPage As Integer = 0

Private Sub PDFPrinter_OnEndPage(JobID As Integer, nPageNumber As Integer) Handles PDFPrinter.OnEndPage
CurrentPage = nPageNumber
End Sub

Hello T Donovan,

Did this happen after a build update or did it just stop working at some point without any apparent change?
Have you tried the latest SDK builds available on the website?

Cheers,

OnStartPage/OnEndPage are asynchronous events - these events are not sent immediately when a new page is started or ended and it is not a good idea to use them to generate bookmarks.

Is there a better solution.

I am printing from Excel a series of spreadsheets that could be one or more pages (could be 1,000 pages total). I am trying to keep track of what page number each of these spreadsheets starts at so that once everything is printed, I can go back and add bookmarks. So I was trying to use the OnStartPage/OnEndPage to try and know what page the section started at to be able to go back and add the bookmarks. Any suggestions.

Thanks.

For now at least this is not possible at creation time - you would need to use the XCpro40.dll functionality in either PDF-Tools SDK or the PDF-XChange PRO SDK to achieve this once the file has been created/saved and then re-opened using this dll.
