pdf files

Post by PQSIK » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:48 pm

Hi,

I'm having a problem printed PDF's in windows 7 and 8.
Installed the latest version of gdpictures.
I don't have the gdpicture pdf plugin.

I have a WPF project framework 4.0 and can print and see files in the viewer on a XP computer. But when I install the program on windows 7 or 8 nothing happens.

I tried gdviewer.DisplayFromFile("") and got nothing in the viewer also.

The target CPU is x86

Is there a problem with gdpictures on windows 7, 8

Any help would be great

Thanks

Hello,

Are you able to reproduce the problem in a standalone application ?

Unfortunately with the information provided I can't do anything :(

Kind regards,

Loïc

The problem is with the PrintDialog()
comment it out and it works.

Code: Select all

Dim gdppdf As New GdPicture.GdPicturePDF
            gdppdf.PrintSetActivePrinter(Me.m_PrinterName)
            For intCount As Integer = 0 To m_DocData.Count - 1
                If Not Me.CancellationPending Then
                    Try
                        gdppdf.LoadFromFile(m_DocData.Item(intCount).DocPath, True)
comment out this line below and it works                       
 'gdppdf.PrintDialog()
                        gdppdf.Print()
                        gdppdf.CloseDocument()
                        m_DocData.Item(intCount).PrintedMassage = "Printed"
                        m_DocData.Item(intCount).DocHasPrinted = True
                    Catch ex As Exception
                       m_DocData.Item(intCount).PrintedMassage = ex.Message
                        m_DocData.Item(intCount).DocHasPrinted = False
                    End Try
                End If
            Next
Thanks

Hello,

I can't use your snippet. I've tried something else without encountering any problem problem.
Please reproduce the issue in a standalone app.

Kind regards,

Hi,

The error did not show in a standalone project.

Now I'm getting blank print outs using the code below. The code to print the files is in a back ground worker, also I'm installing Its in a citrix environment, The printer has been tested and does print.

Is the code correct for printing a list of PDF files or I'm I missing something?

Code: Select all

Using gdp As New GdPicture.GdPictureImaging
            gdp.SetLicenseNumberUpgrade("","")
            For intCount As Integer = 0 To m_DocData.Count - 1
                If Not Me.CancellationPending Then
                    Try
                        Dim gdppdf As New GdPicture.GdPicturePDF
                        gdppdf.PrintSetActivePrinter("Printer Name")
                        gdppdf.LoadFromFile("File path")
                        gdppdf.Print()
                        gdppdf.CloseDocument()
                     Catch ex As Exception
                        
                     End Try
                End If
            Next
        End Using
Thanks

Hello,

To identify the error you have to do 2 important things:

- 1: remove the try/catch block that do not handles thrown exceptions. Or keep it but handle correctly exceptions if any.
- 2: check all returned value of the GdPicture method used.

For example:

Code: Select all

        Const PRINTER_NAME As String = "Adobe PDF"
        Const FILE_PATH As String = "c:\1.pdf"

        Dim gdppdf As New GdPicture.GdPicturePDF
        If gdppdf.PrintSetActivePrinter(PRINTER_NAME) Then
            If gdppdf.LoadFromFile(FILE_PATH, False) = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
                gdppdf.Print()
                If gdppdf.PrintGetStat() <> GdPictureStatus.OK Then
                    gdppdf.CloseDocument()
                    Throw New Exception("Error printing the PDF document. Status: " + gdppdf.PrintGetStat().ToString)
                Else
                    gdppdf.CloseDocument()
                End If
            Else
                Throw New Exception("Error openning the PDF document: " + FILE_PATH)
            End If
        Else
            Throw New Exception("Error selecting Printer: " + PRINTER_NAME)
        End If
Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Loïc

I guess a you a permission issue for GDI spools creation.

Check your app can reach in read&write mode. WINNT\TEMP and WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL

Thanks for you help,

The pdf files are printing but not with GDPictures. I gave up and used the code below

Code: Select all

        Dim par As String = String.Format(" /print:printer=""{0}"" ""{1}", Me.m_PrinterName, filePath)
        Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\Program Files\Tracker Software\PDF Viewer\pdfxcview.exe", par)
