Which is one reason I made it open source, so you can change it to meet your needs...

Updates happen what, twice a year... Not exactly a major issue... I used the DDE interface rather than the new COM interface exactly for this reason - there ARE NO Reader version issues with the DDE interface...

Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan if QuickPDF as a general purpose PDF library, and use it in many applications. Its rendering/printing capabilities, on the other hand, are not up to the quality of the rest of the library, and certainly don't come close to Adobe Reader.

Hi Phora

i used this fragment of code to print many copies of the same pdf document

' Default stampa tutte le pagine
PrimaPagina = 1
UltimaPagina = oPdf.PageCount()
' in txtCopie.text è indicato il numero di copie
' in <PrnName> è indicato il nome Windows della stampante
PrnName = "Epson EPL-6200L"
for j=1 to val(txtCopie.text)
oPdf.PrintDocument PrnName, PrimaPagina, UltimaPagina, 0
next j

With this command the speed of printing is very slow (i work with a Kyocera FS-1750), but using the NewCustomPrinter and PrintOptions the speed has incremented by 4-10 times!!!

Mi puoi contattare a questa e-mail lapinig(chiocciola)tiscali(punto)it
ciao

Hi lapinig (Ciao)

Can you post an example of your code (2/3 righe di codice) ?

How can you work without QP.PrintOptions ?

Thanks (grasssssie)

I had a similar problem, i print 2 or 3 copies on Kyocera FS-1750 Laser Printer with command QP.PrintDocument and using QP.PrintOptions and the Kyocera print one copy in one minute and another one minute for the next copy !!! Without using QP.PrintOptions the printer is much faster. I change the printer driver choosing a PCL driver instead the fully options Kyocera driver. Now i obtain the 2 copies in 20 seconds!!!

Andrea,

Reader's DDE interface goes back at least to version 4. I don't have any OS still running before Win2K, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't run on '95 or '98.

DocOpen and DocClose are only required if you are planning to view the documents in Reader. FilePrintTo works fine on its own.]]> Mon, 30 Jan 2006 11:09:18 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/print-pdf-2_topic289_post1238.html#1238 <![CDATA[Print PDF - 2 : Hi CHicks.

Hi CHicks.

I don't understand why you not use "DocOpen" and "DocClose" DDE messages in your code ....

The correct sequence'd be:

1) DocOpen

2) FilePrintTo

3) DocClose

Hi Chicks.

Thanks for your help: I'm traslating from C to Delphi your code   so I can try it with my console application.

It your code good also for PC with OS lesser then Win200 and Acrobat Reader less than V.7.0.5 ?

Bye

No, the DDE interface is strictly for printing the PDF. All printer settings need to be done first through the Windows API - anything that you set up in Reader from the "File/Print Setup" menu should be settable via the Windows printing API, which is a bit complex.

There is a way to set printer settings via Adobe Javascript, through Adobe's JSObject API, but I don't think it's accessible in Reader, just Acrobat (I may be wrong...)

Here's a linke to Adobe's IACReference document:

http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf

Note that only a few of the DDE messages are available in Reader. The only COM object usable from Reader is
AxAcroPDFLib.AxAcroPDF, which can also be used for printing (and viewing), but it's only availabe in Reader 7.
