Is there a way to print PDF files within the .NET framework? I'd like to set up a directory to monitor and when files are copied there, the program prints the PDF file and deletes it. I just don't know how to handle the printing without using Adobe.
View 3 Repliesi am trying to print a pdf file.. i have acrobat reader in my pc and i have managed to open the pdf file inside the form i created in VB. When i issue the print command, the print dialog box of acrobat appears.If i input 1-4 in page range of dialog box, it doesn't print pages 1-4. I thnk the information i input at the print dialog box is not forwarded to the printer.

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 have been asked to develop a solution which send to the default printer a list of files stored in a directory in file name sequence. These files maybe of any type - such as pdf or Office documents.
I have seen suggestions to using a process class (such as [URL]..However, the process would run largely unmonitored so I have concerns with regards to being able to control the submission of the numerous jobs to the printer and, for example, stopping the print should there be a failureerror in the print queue.

It works great for text, Word, RTF, Excel, PDF, etc. However, images load by default with Windows Picture and Fax viewer and then don't print.It looks from the MSDN docs like I should be able to reset the default application assigned to the extensions and then maybe I could find another app that will print properly. And the OS acts like it's doing that. When I double-click on the file it does open with the new app. But when the above sub runs, it reverts back to trying to open with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
I am using the adobe pdf control in my app to load a pdf file and I call the PrintAll method to print it. I then tried to loop through pdf files by loading and printing each. But it only prints one. It seems not to runi n synchronous mode. It done one and then is done because it did nto have time to load and print the others? Not sure.Does anyone know how to print multiple pdf files? I've already tried many codes I saw for calling the pdf with shellexecute and other ways but it does not work.

View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble many PDF files in the order that I send the print command using the following [Code]
It prints just fine other than it not being in the correct order. The only way I managed to get it in the correct order is by adding a timer and checking to see if there are any jobs in the print queue, which really slows down the printing process, especially when creating 500+ print jobs.
I was wondering if there is a better way to print these files, to where it will print fast and still be in order. A couple things I have in mind, but not sure if possible, is to create a text file or XML file that has the list of files to print and the quantity and queue the printer off that list or to convert PDF files to XPS documents and then using PrintQueue class to add the XPS file as a print job.
I have a VB.NET project in which it would be extremely helpful to the users if they would be able to print multiple .DWG files at the same time without manually opening each one and clicking on the print button.

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.
