I'm using the following sub to print files automatically:
Code:
Private Sub printFile(ByVal path As String)
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(path)
p.Verb = "print"
[code].....
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 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.
i 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.
I am doing this because im making a project which can print documents as well as accepting payment thru the coin slot.
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.
I developed a Web Service which calls a ProcessStartInfo class. When I run the WS in debug mode, step by step, It works fine but when I publish the WS, It just does not work and does not even throw any exception. I gave full permissions to ASP.NET and Network users on the .exe which the PSI calls.
I want a program where the user can browse to a particular folder, select it, then the program will print all .xls files within that folder. More specifically I want it print on the sheet named Turn-In within the .xls file. Is this even possible, seems like it should be.
how i can rewrite this code so that in my loop i print each page of the tif file.What is happening at the moment is that the i go through the loop for each page however i only print the last page when i recall the document.print()
I'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.
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.
I have a utility that I have written in VB.net that runs as a scheduled tasks. It internally calls another executable and it has to access a mapped drive. Apparently windows has issues with scheduled tasks accessing mapped drives when the user is not logged on, even when the authentication credentials are supplied to the task itself. Ok, fine.
To get around this I just passed my application the UNC path.
process.StartInfo.FileName = 'name of executable' process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = '\unc path' process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden process.StartInfo.Arguments = 'arguments to executable' process.Start()
This is the same implementation I used with the mapped drive, however using the UNC path, the process is not behaving as if the UNC path is the working directory.
Are there any known issues setting ProcessStartInfo.WorkingDirectory to an UNC path?
I have an application that runs using as AsInvoker manifest, this uses ProcessStartInfo to run another application that is using a HighestAvailable manifest (in my case this runs as Admin and I get the UAC prompt) the first app then quits. The second app then uses ProcessStartInfo to run the first app again, this time it runs as admin (no UAC prompt) I guess this is correct because it is AsInvoker and it is being invoke from an application that is running as admin, but I actually want it to run without Admin rights - or more correctly run it with the lowest possible execution level..I know you can use ProcessStartInfo.Verb = "runas" to elevate but can you descend?
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.
Is this possible to do in VB.NET using the Autocad API's?
Any VB example of batch printing pdf files from a dos/windows subdirectory (with only Acrobat Reader installed)? I've got a folder full of pdf's (30 or 40) and I need to fire them off to the networked Laserjet. Also, is there a way in VB, to set the "full duplex" (double-sided) printing option for an HP Laserjet (PCL6)?
We have a piece of software that attempts to print .tif images using a ProcessStartInfo object. It sets the Verb property to "print" and the FileName property to the path of the image. It then sets the UseShellExecute property to true and executes the Process.Start() method.
However, nothing happens. I created a small test program to list the Verbs associated with .tif images and it only shows "Shell", but not "print".
I cannot modify this piece of software, so is there a way to define or register the "print" verb for .tif image types to allow them to print?
I am using the following code and a remote server:
[Code]...
The problem is that the acceess rights are not recognized correctly. If I log in manually with the same credentials then the rights are set correctly. Is there something else that need to be set for this towork correctly? I just realized I clicked VS.net instead of VB.net (moderator move this to correct area.)
I want to convert documents to PDF by "printing" them on a "virtual" printer (which produces PDF files instead of paper copies). My code looks like this:
I'm trying to use my existing application to open tiff files for clients and staff in order to print or view the reports that we have scanned into our server. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a free, preferably open source library or wrapper for a library that will work in VB.NET running through Visual Studio 2005. Does anyone know of any open source/free implementations of this that I could adopt in my application?
I have a service that runs under local system that I need to have execute an external .exe using alternate credentials. Using the code I have posted here, I get the error "Error-:-The parameter is incorrect" and the target site is "Boolean tartWithCreateProcess(System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo)"Here is the code:
Try Dim AuditProcess As New Process Dim p As System.Security.SecureString = New System.Security.SecureString
I need stop printing and paper feeding in the middle of printing in dot matrix printer.(Like a POS Printer - When wrote 'End Doc' on POS printer can stop paper feeding)
I am using VB 2008 & Access Databases for creating WinForm Applications. Also i am using Crystal Reports for Report solution. my question is How do i created reports such a way that they can be printed in faster Ascii Format on any DotMatrix printer. The default true type fonts make printing very slower.
I tried to use "Draft 10 cpi" font which come to available me after i installed a correct driver for my Epson printer. which also helped me overcome this problem. however it wont be the scenario with all my clients i.e. they might have different printers having different Make with different drivers installed. i have tried to open such project on there PC but the printing wont come in Draft instead the fonts get expanded too much & the print wont come right.
I basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
I'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?
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
' Loop through all of the text in the array For i = 0 To 9 If i Mod 2 = 0 Then
[Code]....
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'm using Visual Basic 2006 and i am printing with a third party application call NovaPDF. It works very well.NovaPDF works like any printer and i'm having no problem using it. The thing is that i don't want to queue printing document because i need to rename and change their location. Also NovaPDF append to file. So, what i want to do is : Do some kind of loop that the program will loop in until my printer is done printing everything.[code]....
I'm not asking for a code or anything, just some info about this.Would it be possible to make a .dot or .doc in word with the layout and such.And then let vb.net read the file and replace some words like <Name>, <Adress>and print the document out with the values name and adress your program sends to the document.
I have written a vb.net 2008 Express Edition application that pulls transaction history for customers from an iSeries. Everything appears to work as planned, except when you select to print Datagridview it prints the Date column as a DateTime instead of Date.When you are viewing the Datagridview in the VB.Net application it looks like it should.
On the iSeries the field with the date data is a decimal field with length of 7,0 with the following format CYYMMDD. In the VB.Net application the date portion is correct the time portion always is 12:00:00 AM due to i guess that it is picking up zero's somehow for time. Following is the code for the application.
