ByteArray to PDF

Hey,
I am trying to use the byte array from an uploaded pdf, to just print the pdf. Essentially the same issue that was listed in this post
https://gdpicture.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1721
Did this ever get a solution? I specifically am wanting to print a pdf without first loading it into ImageViewer. I have the byte array, just need a way to print it or make a usable imageId out of it.
Thank you

Hello Dylan,
Could you elaborate on your issue, please?
Does the oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromByteArray() returns a 0?
Just to avoid any issue that was already corrected, could you update your GdPicture SDK to the latest version and tell me if the issue remains?
With best,
Fabio

Yes, oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromByteArray() returns a zero. The byte array represents a pdf that I am wanting to print, still as a pdf. I am using a version 14.0.0.7, where the post I linked was using 6.6. Has this functionality been added since then? Or does anyway exist to print a pdf without loading it into the viewer using a byte array?

Hello Dylan,
This is expected that the oGdPictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromByteArray() returns a zero if you give it a PDF as input.
The GdPictureImaging class is for raster images and GdPicturePDF for PDF.
Here is a code snippet I made for loading a byte array into a GdPicturePDF object:
Code: Select all
byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\Filesample.pdf");
GdPicturePDF oPdf = new GdPicturePDF();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(bytes);
oPdf.LoadFromStream(ms);
//oPdf.GetStat();
And you will find all the information about the print process with a GdPicturePDF object here:

By the way, it is recommended to update your GdPicture SDK (your current version was released the June 16th, 2017) if you face any issue, just to avoid old corrected bugs.
With best,
Fabio

Thanks Fabio! That code worked perfectly. I'll try to work on getting version updated for both of our sakes lol
