Image in PDF, OK in PDF Reader - not OK printing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi guys at DebuEnu.
First of all thanks for a great product, I have used it for a long time and it is rock solid!

In the meantime, I have ran into a problem when printing a PDF that I can't find any solution to fix. The problem exists in version 9, but also in 12.12 which I have tried. 

I have a Word document which have a header image in the upper corner. When I save this document, and open it, everything looks smooth. However if I take this file and print it thru

the PrintDocument function

then this header image looks like it is repeating/looping and not centered anymore - What is wrong here when everthing looks fine in the Reader?

What do to here? - Please help!

Best,
Hisse

	Hi Hisse, i would try "CombineContentStream" and "NormalizePage" before printing. Perhaps this will help already. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo
	Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo Thank you for your quick reply. Much appreciated. I tried all possible combination with NormalizePage 0 - 3 and with/without CombineContentStream, however the result is still the same :( Is there any other approach I could do? All the best, Hisse

	The file is then exported to PDF thru Word and then printed with the DebEnu libary. File looks fine in Reader afterwards.

	Hi, for me it's okay. I've saved the docx to pdf. Then i print it via Foxit... then i print it via a commandline-tool i've made with QuickPDF 10.12. The printout is always the same. The cat is on the top right as expected.
	Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo. That is very interresting! Can you share the few lines of code you use to set up the pdf printing functionality in The DebEnu SDK? Thanks! Hiise Edited by hishaps - 17 Feb 16 at 8:25AM

	Hi Hiise, i don't know if it helps undocumented. It's from a complete printer module which can use bins and few additional options... If there are questions please go to the online reference and read about the functions. This source was made with D2007 - so an utf-conversion was necessary... QP := TDebenuPDFLibrary1012.Create; try QP.UnlockKey('...'); nokays := QP.LoadFromFile(Pchar( AnsiToUtf8(fname)),'' ); if ( nokays = 0 ) then begin lec := QP.LastErrorCode; // ... if ( lec = ... ) Then // ... end; If QP.EncryptionStatus > 0 Then QP.Decrypt; if ( prname = 'default') Then PriName := QP.GetDefaultPrinterName; if (prname <> 'default' ) then PriName := prname; pc := QP.PageCount; // ... propt := QP.PrintOptions(pscal, rotate, fname); if ( bin > 0 ) Then begin cPriName := QP.NewCustomPrinter(PriName); QP.SetupCustomPrinter(cPriName, 9, bin); end; if ( pend = 9999 ) then pend := pc; for i := 1 to copies do begin if ( bin > 0 ) Then QP.PrintDocument(cPriName, pstart, pend, propt) else QP.PrintDocument(PriName, pstart, pend, propt); end; finally QP.Free; ErrorAddr := Addr(err); ExitCode := 0001; end;
	Cheers, Ingo
