IPXCPrinter Properties

Post by 71SoCal »

I'm searching for a particular property on the IPXCPrinter properties object. When I generate a new PDF and open it with the Adobe reader, I attempt to print it out via the File->Print option. This brings up the Print dialog. Inside the Page Handling group box, there is a Page Scaling combobox. Currently mine is defaulting to "Reduce to Printer Margins."

Is there a setting to change the default value to "Fit to Printer Margins?"

Please advise if this setting can be programmatically controlled.

Thanks.

Hi,

We cannot control at PDF creation time via our print driver/Libraries the way the file will be managed by Adobe's Reader as required I am afraid (no creation tool can) - the best solution for you - is to use our Viewer if possible in your application to programmatically control this (if this is possible on the client machine) - obviously if these PDF's are for general consumption and you canot dictate the Viewer being used and therefore control - you are to be blunt - 'scuppered' !
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards
