Change The Output File Path Of The Adobe PDF Printer?
Jun 19, 2011
I would like to change the output file path of the Adobe PDF Printer via code. Currently I am setting the destination path using the Adobe PDF preferences which works fine, however if I change the path in my program I have to go back to the Adobe printer and manually set the new path. How can I change the Adobe output file path via code?
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAdobeAcrobat
Distiller9.0AdobePDFOutputFolder",
"2",
"C:YOUR PATH HERE"

For my current application development I need direct printing technique,For the purpose I refer Microsoft Support page Titled"How to send raw data to a printer using VB.Net "The code snippnet specified is perfect for my application.Refers link [URL]But I need something more like Setting the Printer font to Condensed.By default my printer use the font 10cpi ,by using this font size I limited to print only 80char on A4 sheet,but I have more than 80 char on line so I prefer Condensed font size.

I'm using the following code to open a pdf document in Adobe reader print and close Adobe reader. It works well in XP but when i try the same in win server 2003 or win server 2008 I get a message in Adobe Reader saying it could not locate the file to be loaded. Any thoughts or guidance to resolve this behaviour will be great.

I've spent all day and most of yesterday trying to find how to: 1. Detect if my printer is busy, because my code tells the printer to print more pages than it can cope with, so I need to delay the command for 'Print the next page' until the printer has finished printing the previous one.
2. Shift the output to my printer so that it gets printed in it's entirety on the paper, in stead of seemingly being anchored to some nebulous point on the A4 page. It starts printing at X = 29mm from the left edge, and Y is 28mm from the top, and stops at X = 22mm from the right edge and Y stops at 22mm from the bottom edge, leaving (aprox) 50mm of X and 50mm of Y unprinted.
3. Get useful information on Bounds, which I'm fairly certain is what I need to control where my printing should start and finish.I've hunted through this forum, MSDN, 'Help' (a misnomer if ever there was one) the VB Library and searched through one or two other forums, which either baffle me with reams of pretty much irrelevant code or suggest code to try which either just don't work or which don't declare all the variables and usually don't suggest what type of variable I need, it's all very frustrating.

I cant find how to scale the output to the printer. Currently the size of Form1 is set to A5 because that about the most the VDU can handle.When I send this to the printer from PrintForm1, naturally it prints at A5, ideally Id like to scale that up to A4 but cant find how to do it. It seems to me also that Id like to know that it was correctly centred to the paper.

I am continuing a previous thread to keep it from becoming tooooooo long. I tried most of the helpful suggestions offered by kind forum contributors but can't seem to make them work. I tried to analyze somewhat but it's beyond my skill level. So a different approach was to try to incorporate the code in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event of my application that prints acceptably, but only prints first page of multi page document. I had three somewhat different approaches offered by John Anthony Oliver, ACAMAR, and Crazy Pennie. I cut the code and placed in the PrintDocument1_PrintPage event code. All three approaches made the "Printing"message box page counter go wild without outputing to my printer. Family Man Mike suggested resetting the variables after the e.HasMorePages=false line. I tried that approach but couldn't make that work for me, I really don't comprehend but made an attempt such as num_of_pages = 0, startVal = 0, endVal = 0. That had no affect on the functionality.

I am using IHTMLElementrender.DrawToDC but when sending to a screen DC, the image is cropped by about 10%. The image is large enough and I can draw using VB Line, Print or API etc, to the area that is cropped, so it isn't the DC at fault.On any printer device it works exactly as expected. I believe this is a bug, but where can I go to report it?

My app outputs to printer and after much effort (and assistance from this forum) I got the print output formated to an acceptable output, except when certain user choices make for a multi-page document. The document prints one page and then cuts off. We formatted the output using a defined rectangle (the code for which I do not fully understand) to format the page. Can experienced users give me some help on getting a multi page output?

I have a change calculator program that has two user inputs and 6 outputs. The user inputs how much money is owed, then how much money is received. IT will then display how much change you need to give back. It should also display the different types of currency that are available to give as change. Here is my code so far.

I designed an interface which calls an executable program written in c. This program needs an input image and outputs another image which has the name: "<the same as the input one>_out". My interface has to display both images (input in picturebox1 and output in picturebox2), I've done so for the input image but now I need to get the path for the output one to display it. I know that there are functions like My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo() or My.Computer.FileSystem.FindInFiles() but I think they're useless for me, do you think so? Do you know any methods or functions to get the path of my output file? Is it possible?

I am trying to update an application that was developed a couple of months ago on VB of Visual Studio 2005. The "Build output path:" for the project is pointing to a folder in which I collected a few executables related to my activity, BinDir/. It is just next to the project's folder ProjName/ on my disk. Contrary to the past, when I build my project now, the .exe is created in the ProjName/obj/Debug folder, instead of being directed to the BinDir/Debug folder. In the IDE's Output tab (while building), the path of the generated executable appears correctly, but in reality it is located somewhere else. I tried again and now it seems like the executable is created in both places. The obj/ version is just redundant now.

I am generating PDF file using Crystal report ExportToDisk method in VB.NET 3.5.
Locally and on integration environment generated PDF file is much readable i.e.font size is good. But the PDF file generated on production environment is different in formatting.The lines are wrapping and font size is also little small. There is not Adobe installed on integration.

I have a vb.net app that uses PrintPreviewDialog to print a document. Now I want the user to be able to print to any printer on the network. So, I created a listbox of available printers which works fine. Now, I need to either change the windows default printer to the one selected, or make the PrintPreviewDialog use that printer name.

If this were a Windows forms project I have used the System.Drawing.Printing namespace to accomplish my goal. However, I cannot import this namespace into a Class library.Overall here is what I am trying to do:I am trying to set the default printer using this namespace on both Windows XP and Windows 7 workstations. I am using Visual Basic 2008. My ultimate goal is to create a COM dll which is accessed from an older VBA program. The COM Dll will set the default printer to a new printer. Execution will return to the VBA program and it will print a Crystal Report. When the Crystal report is finished the VBA code will use the COM Dll one last time to set the default printer back to the original default Printer.But as I mentioned I cannot import the namespace I want to use into a Class library. Can someone give me some guidance on how to either import the namespace into a Class Library or how to determine the Default printer name and to set the Default printer to a different value?
Update: I was able to add the Imports Namespace after I added a reference to the correct DLL in Project Properties. My project is targeted at the 3.5 .Net Framework. The System.Drawing.Printing DLL is not in the 3.5 framework. That DLL is in the 2.0.50727 framework. After browsing and Adding that DLL, everything is working fine.BUT this leads to a new question. How would determining the default Printer be accomplished in the 3.5 .Net framework?Secondly, am I asking for trouble having a project target the 3.5 framework AND including a 2.0.50727 component in the same project?

What i want to do is simple but at the same time complicated. I have multiple .PDF file and i want to print them all. Thing is, all the .PDF are in 8,5 X 11 paper size. The printer is also on this paper size by default and i want to print them in a different size. I want to change the default printer size programatically so it prints in the right format. I need to change this in the program because i need to print in a few different paper size.
here is some code

Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo("C:Program FilesAdobeReader 10.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe", "/t " + path + filename + " " + printername + "")

I try to change some printer settings using the win32 api OpenPrinter,GetPrinter and SetPrinter in VB.Net application.I copied most of the code from this or related newsgroups. However, OpenPrinter, GetPrinter and ClosePrinter works so far but I cannot change the printer settings. SetPrinter returns the error code ACCESS DENIED. I know I have to deal with the desired access mask in the _DEFAULT_PRINTER structure when calling OpenPrinter. Unfortunaltely the declaration of the DEFAULT_PRINTER structure or class I found on the internet doesn't work with the OpenPrinter function.

I have a VB.NET module that prints out a series of Crystal and PDF documents as a packet. I need a way to temporarily change the user's default printer to the network printer for the PDF report (the Crystal reports are already redirected). Once the module has done its job, I want the module to return the default printer back to its original setting. Since Adobe Reader only works with the default printer, and there does not appear to be a way to redirect that, I need to change the deault for the duration of the module. I tried the following code, but it still sends the PDF output to the local printer.[code]...

This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
