Development porting from tracker viewer to editor: Annotation print on/off

[jdknox]

1) Old code: with a tracker pdf viewer dragged on a c# form, the code looks like this...
//old code
object vDataIn = 33550369;
axCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Print.PrintSpec", vDataIn, 0);
// this code is called when the customer his a checkbox to turn off annotation printing

2) New code needed: with the new tracker pdf editor dragged on a c# form, I need to do the equivalent code as above...
(AxPDFXedit) pdfCtl.???

Hello jdKnox,
This forum post was in the incorrect forums, I have thus migrated the topic into the SDK forums for you.
Have a nice day!

Hello jdknox,

As you can see here, the needed setting is being set in the Print Dialog itself:
https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxe7/print_ed.html
That is if the user prints from the dialog. If you need to print with preset settings without dialog (just using the operation) this can also be tweaked.
Please describe what you need exactly and I will assist you further.

Cheers,
Alex

Yes, I'd like to "print with preset settings without dialog (just using the operation)." The sample code from the first post was how our old client performed this tweak (using the old viewer control). I need help with the equiv code for the new pdf editor control that we are using. Most all of the other viewer-to-editor operations I ported were simple but I'm stuck on this print preset w/out dialog tweak.

Hello jdknox,

Please check out the FullDemo application's PrintForm.cs:
https://github.com/tracker-software/PDF ... intForm.cs
There is a PrintFilters enum - there all of the existing flags in dialog are being shown. You can create the custom flag that you need by combining the needed PXC_PrintContentFlags.
Then you will have to set the Content node with the flags you need.

Code: Select all

MainFrm.ComboboxItem it = (MainFrm.ComboboxItem)cbPrintDocFilter.SelectedItem;
if (it != null)
	opts["Content"].v = it.Value;

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex, Sorry for the lag in response to this incident. Do you have a min to illustrate how to make the pdfCtl print with anno markups? Our app simply uses the pdfCtl.PrintPages(0,N) command and it does not print annotations by default. I see the sample code and enumerations you sent me but it's not clear to me on how to set it using the tracker pdfedit control that is on our form.

//old viewer code (noneditor) we used to enable printing annos

object vDataIn = 33550369;
axCoPDFXCview1.SetProperty("Print.PrintSpec", vDataIn, 0);

Hello jdknox,

Have you looked at the FullDemo application? The whole code that does what you want is there. Simply go to the Operations tab, select what you want to Print from the Print Combobox (in your case it's probably Document and Markups) and then press Run Operation.

Cheers,
Alex
