Printing Pdf Documents From 2010 App?
Jan 26, 2012
print pdf documents from a vb 2010 app. I have tried 2 techniques that work, but both have some minor issues that I'd like to address. The 1st technique uses command line arguments as follows:
Dim starterStr As String = "/h /t " & Chr(34) & pdfFileName & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & printerName & Chr(34)
Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo("AcroRd32.exe", starterStr)
Dim print As New Process()
With print
[code]....
The 2nd technique is more aesthetically pleasing to me, but has the same annoying problem of leaving the Acrobat process running after execution. It also doesn't allow me to set the output printer destination (the above code sends the output to the default printer).
1. how to close the Acrobat process
2. how to set an output printer destination using StartInfo arguments

I have a scheduler with multiple views. 1 day, 3 days, 5 days and 7 days.I have figured out how to scale each view and it prints correctly. What I am having problems with is how to allow the user to print these different views from one screen. I have a dropdown box with 1 day, 3, day, 5 day and 7 day. On the scheduler I have put the same procedure as Print and Print2 with just minor differences for the scaling for each view. Print Document1 and PrintDocument2 are on the second form. For some reason, no matter how I call the print document2 I end up with Printdocument1. I have checked it over and over but am getting no where. Would there be any reason I can't use multiple printdocuments on one form for printing different procedures?

I want to be able to send an array of mixed documents to the printer. One document may be a word file, another a tiff file and another a jpeg.At the moment the only way I can do it is to open a seperate print preview for each document which is not good from the users point of view.

I have a series of documents (Crystal reports, Excel workbooks, Word documents, PDF documents) that I need to print out in a collated order, but it seems that each application runs on its own thread and the documents don't come out in the order I intend.Is there a way of using VB.NET code to (a) control the order in which the documents are published; and (b) compelling the system to wait until one document is complete before starting the printing of the next one in the sequence?LDC

I want to be able to print various kinds of documents to a specific printer I have looked at the PrintDocument class and the Process class. My closest working attempt has been with the Process Class.
Here is my code using a Process Class:
Dim Proc As New Process
Dim PrintTo As String = "\dev003NetPrintQueue2Fax"

I am setting up printing (to a printer or file) in my application, and it doesn't seem to print out any new lines that I specify. Here's some of my printing

When I print the output to a PDF file using PDFCreator, it stacks all of the letters onto each other rather than creating new lines at the places I've specified. I've also tried using vbNewLine instead of vbCrLf, but I haven't had any luck. I searched the web for this but couldn't find anything about it.

I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?

How would I go about uploading an entire directory and all sub-directories and files to a SharePoint 2010 Server?
I don't think this function is specifically built into SharePoint (just uploading multiple documents in one folder). But the way I understand it, I can write something in VB or C# to accomplish this.

Scenario: I have about 14000 word documents that need to be converted from "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" to "Microsoft Word Document". In other words upgraded to 2010 format (.docx).
Question: Is there an easy way to do this using API's or something? Note: I've only been able to find a microsoft program that converts the documents to .docx but they still open in compatability mode. It would be nice if they could just be converted to the new format. Same functionality you get when you open an old document and it gives you the option to convert it.[URL]..EDIT2: This is my current function for converting the documents
[Code]...
Also it opens word after about 2 or 3 conversions and starts flashing but keeps converting.EDIT3: Tweaked to code above a little bit and it runs cleaner. Takes 1min10sec to convert 8 files though. Considering I have 14000 I need to convert this method will take a reasonably long time.
EDIT4: Changed the code up again. Uses a threadpool now. Seems to run a bit faster. Still need to run on a better computer to convert all the documents. Or do them slowly by folder. Can anyone think of any other way to optimize this?

I do have third party application which produce it�s reports in PDF format. Those reports are having images and different kind of alignments in the pages. So I need a code or guidance to make an application to transform the exact appearance of the PDF file in to Excel. My Issue is the PDF does not have table kind of thing to identify by regular pdf to excel conversions.

The three forms in my project have the ability to print in PrintDocument1.Print event. Each print-document consists of only one page in landscape shape and everything works fine. But it seems a bit clumsy to print three times with three buttons. I know, I can use the PerformClick event, but I wonder if there is a simple way to append all three documents into one by clilking only one button in my last form?

I've developed an application in VB.Net 2010, Express edition. It uses Word Library functionality to access several .docx and .dotx files.Everything works in the development environment. However, after deployment, my application can't find any of the Word document files. I've added them to the project and to the Resources list under the Project Properties tab.The path I'm using to locate the docs and dots is coded in these ways:[code]Both of these statements work in the development environment perfectly. Not at all after deployment as an app.What can I do to make my application find the Word files after deployment?

I would like to know if it is possible to have dynamic data in word (2003) documents. Let me explain, I will start with what we do now and how I would like to fix or change it.We have approx 35 , we will call them divisions for the time being, and each division has a folder on the shared drive. We have approx 700 ,lets call them customers for the time, and each customer has a folder located in the associated division folder on the shared Drive. (\DriveDivision#1Customer#1...\DriveDivision#32Customer#348 etc etc etc .)There is a MSword2003 document that exists in every Customer Folder that contains data about that customer (including but not limited too.Contacts, Notes, Customer #s etc) We will call this the DeCust.doc file for the time. A lot of the information in these DeCust.doc files can exist in another customers DeCust.doc files such as a contact name and address. One of the problems we run into is that a contact (lets say Smiths Plumbing Service) may send an email to notify of an address change and the person receiving the email will change the contacts address in the DeCust.doc files of the customers that that employee (employee #1) works with but, there are other DeCust.doc files in other customer folders that the address never gets changed in. When a different employee (employee #2) opens a deCust.doc file of a different customer that he/she works with the contact (Smiths Plumbing Service) the address of this deCust.doc: file is wrong (not updated).
I would like to solve this problem. I have already developed a Demo VB/Database application to be used in lieu of the DeCust.doc files but, I have met Way too much resistance in getting people to switch from using individual docs in each customer folder to using a database program. With that being said, I started wondering if there was a way to Link/populate/fill the contact information in these DeCust.Doc files to a central Database or such that when someone changes an address for a contact it is simultaneously changed in all the other DeCust.doc files.

I have a quick question. One of the functions in the program I am writing is to take all of the data entered, compile it into an HTML document, then place that document into a folder.For the past few days, I have just been using a random folder on one of my hard drives to dump the file in, but the problem is that, in my code, I have supplied the folder location as a string ("E:Practice FilesDocuments"), and therein lies the problem. Trying to test my program on a separate system brought the bug to my attention; obviously, this program can only write this file to a location of E:Practice FilesDocuments, and if any other computer that runs this program doesn't have E:Practice FilesDocuments then there is going to be a problem in the program working the way I have intended
So what I would like to do is instead of having it write the file to "E:Practice FilesDocuments," have it write to the default My Documents folder so that the program is no longer specific to my machine only. The problem is, though, I have no clue what the right code is to use. I first tried using
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location to write the file to the default installation directory. This would have worked, but since this is a VB.NET program, the default installation directory isn't in Program Files and doesn't seem to be meant for users to browse through for their documents, plus it seems that trying to write back to this directory causes some unhanded exceptions and whatnot. I figured it would just be easier to create a folder in My Documents rather than use the install directory (and probably smarter).

I have a Search web reference (from a Search Server 2010 express install) in a vb.net application that is utilizing the QueryService Class to search a production Sharepoint foundation 2010 site.At a previous point in time, we had created a proof of concept on an entirely test system that has since been turfed. From my recollection on this test system when documents were uploaded as a specific site content type (that inherits from document) and metadata was provided, we could search for specific metadata by making managed properties for each, and search results would be returned as documents (with the isdocument flag set to true). Viewing the document then became simple, as we could simply use the filename and path to display the stored file.Now we are developing a production system and we have encountered a new behavior, where these results now are returned as aspx results such as
[URL]
This of course makes it terribly difficult to locate and view the document, we can extract the Title which will then give us the name of the file with no extension, but that hardly helps, as the FileExtension data is aspx, not the documents file extension, so we don't have a full filename. We could display the page returned as a result, but would much prefer the document itself.
I've made a test document library, with just bare bones setup, (not using the site content type, or site columns) and uploaded some documents on the same site, and they are returned in the same fashion, so I don't believe the document library, or content type are the issue.
With a fairly limited understanding of both Sharepoint and Search Server, I don't know if this is a setup issue with the search service itself, with the site configuration, or with the querypacket I am sending. We also have a third party application (Knowledgelake) installed on the server that ties into sharepoint which could have changed configuration somewhere as well?
I don't think the query packet has changed since it was working in the proof of concept, other than the custom data column names. I will provide it here in case there is something glaringly obvious to an external reader.
<QueryPacket xmlns='urn:Microsoft.Search.Query.Document'>"
<Query>
<SupportedFormats>
<Format>urn:Microsoft.Search.Response</Format>

Why did MS remove the easy way to print in VB2010. As a programmer, developing programs that used to print directly to the printer in VB 6, I find the new "funtionality" of printing with VB 2010 is a PITA. I used to be able to define my printout and code the information and then print the variables where I need to on the page.

I've got problems while printing a document.I've got a program that have a small form with options for printing two diferent pages.Here's the There is a Button for printing named Imprimir and two checkboxes for selecting what king of display I want to send to printer.At first time, there are no problems, the printer prints what I want, the form closes and it seems all is allright. The problem is when I try to print again, even the same layout, I call the print form again and I get the error in the picture...Why the same routine executes without problem at first instance and gives this error at second instant?

I have been researching for 2 weeks on how to do this, but no luck. My code opens an IE window and enters information in a website which causes a popup window to open. I need to save/print this popup window as a pdf and be able to code the filepath. I really need it to print silently without user input because of the volume I need. I assure you this is not for anything malicious, I am actually using it to make sure the firm I work for does not open a suit on any person in active military.
I use the following code to select the popup window as it is the 2nd open window

Attached is an excel file which I want you to have a look at. Usually the staff fills in this form manually in 2 copies everyday and this is becoming very tedious. So what I was thinking is to design a form with labels (which represent the columns on the excel sheet) and text boxes. Let's say for each 5 records they capture, they can take out a printout on A3 paper like the same format in the excel sheet. I know we can do that directly on the excel sheet but the thing is all the data captured will be used in another application I have developed.

Now I'm at the end of the first part of my project and now i need to print a voucher with few pre-printing words and 7 fields that comes from a dataset.I try to use *rdlc file on which i made all the necesary layout very good, and the link was very good as well But print NO I did something in *.xaml file very dificult to put controls and make the links.But lets say i will do it, for the moment i have a picture and a label with few words, and I'm trying to print it with the following lines
Dim myPrintDialog As PrintPreviewDialog = New PrintPreviewDialog
Dim myDocument As New PrintDocument
myPrintDialog.Document = myDocument
myPrintDialog.Document.DocumentName = "OrderVoucher.xaml"
myPrintDialog.ShowDialog()
But in the dialog I see only a blank page.Of course I have a mistake in my mentality of building my code but I don't know where is that.I also need to admit that is the first time in my life which I'm trying to print from Visual Studio 2010.Now Please I need the best assistance you can give me.For the moment i want to print in my default Laser printer.But in the final stage i will have to print in an Olivetti PR2 (Bank printer) which will be connected in the com: port.That will be the day if I succeed :)

I'm trying to print from VB Express but it seems to be so difficult. I tried the printform component only to see the end result being blurred. I have data in one table (which will be used as the header) and data in another table (the body) which I need to print out. Seeing that the express edition does not have any reporting capabilities, I turned to several other open-source projects providing "free" reporting tools, such as MyNeoReport. MyNeoReport is acclaimed to be so good but the developer lacks a detailed tutorial for it. And the tutorial's I did manage to find are all in C#. Not helping.
How do I go about printing the data? The design is simple. Extract the company information from table A to display as the header, extract the body from table B to display as the results. I also need to calculate the totals of the body and add it to the footer or bottom of the report body. I can't seem to find any relating forums or questions similar to mine on any forum. Currently on the form, I've got a few labels, textboxes and a listview. I know I need to load the filtered data into a data grid at some point.
Is it possible to give me a detailed example of how to do this? I'm really frustrated with this whole printing thing. I don't have the finances to buy these other reporting products and the one's claimed to be free all comes with a price-tag in the small print.
