Hello,

I'm developing a VB 6.0 printing program using QuickPDF Library 7.24.

I'm trying to understand the PrintDucument sub routine from this post: http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/propper-usage-of-quickpdf-in-visual-basic-6_topic595.html - http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/propper-usage-of-quickpdf-in-visual-basic-6_topic595.html

If the PrintDocument function suggests using the PrintOptions function to get the options parameter and the PrintOptions function asks for a Document Title as a parameter, where is the Document Title for a newly created document?

How do I get the Document Title of a document after I just made the connection to QuickPDF and did not create a NewPage?

In that post, where does "PDF output" come from?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi Tony!

I THINK that document title while printing is the title you can see if you're opening your printer to see what are the current jobs running.
The "other" document title you're asking for (...after connection to QuickPDF...) is an attribute which COULD be maintained for the document. These attributes are title, author, creator, subject, and so on. These attributes can be empty, too. It's not a must to put something in.
All pdf-output comes from (inside) QuickPDF. There's no need to install any pdf-reader.
Right after your (...connection to QuickPDF...) you won't see any attributes (where should they come from?). You have to load a file first ...

try
    QP := TQuickPDF0723.Create;
    try
       QP.UnlockKey('MyKey');
       fexist := QP.LoadFromFile(FName);
//     . . .
    finally
   QP.Free;
    end;

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

BTW: It should be a must to read the online reference:
http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/FunctionGroups.php
There you can find samples and another knowledgebase, too.

Hello Ingo.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm still unsure about this.

If I want to do this:

    ' Print document
    Printeroptions = QP.PrintOptions(0, 0, "PDF output")
    PrintResult = QP.PrintDocument(PrintDevice, 1, QP.PageCount, Printeroptions)

and i have not loaded a document, I just want to print the document I created and added pages to, then where would I get "title of document" to put into the PrintOptions function?

Thanks,

Tony

Well, my printing works, but i just don't understand how to use the PrinterOptions function. What it does and how you get the title of the document.

Is there some kind of QuickPDF manual that explains those kinds of things?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

Try the online reference.
As title in printoptions you can use whatever you want.

Cheers, Ingo

I'm sorry Ingo.

My skills at interpreting reference material is not what it should be.

I did not see that it was simply a name that you could give to your print job.

Thanks again for all of your help and support with these problems that I am having.

Tony
