I am using the pdf.kit.PdfViewer to print a pdf.  The pdf prints fine in Adobe Acrobat 7.0, but when you print the same pdf with pdf.kit.PdfViewer, it seems to shrink it down slightly like it is taking in to account some margins or something.  I am calling PdfViewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings since this is an unattended process.  I even tried forcing the page margins to zero on the PageSettings object that you pass to the PdfViewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings method, but that made no difference.  Let me know how I can send you the pdf that I am having the problem with.  It is critical that this pdf is rendered correctly.

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.

Please attach the file to the forum post or email it to adeel.ahmad@aspose.com.

Thanks.

I've attached the pdf file.

Hi,

I have reproduced the error. I will discuss this with the devlopers and we will let you know about the solution as soon as possible.

Thanks.

I should also mention that pdf's have a couple of supported options for scaling the page to the printer's margins (printable area).  In Adobe Acrobat 7.0 you can go to document properties --> advanced tab -->>  Print Scaling (dropdown).  The two choices are 'None' and 'Default'.  I think the example that I sent you is actually set to default, but I tried it both ways with your toolkit and it didn't make difference.  If it is set to 'Default' it will scale the image to fit within the printers margins. If it is set to none, it will not scale the image.  The option that I really need to work is the 'None' option.  The pdf that I sent is an 8.5 x 11 page and needs to be rendered to the page exactly as that. If it is scaled to the printers margins (which isn't much), this throws off the whole document.  I have attached the same pdf except with the scale set to 'none'.  You will be able to notice that these will probably print slightly different from adobe.  Let me know if you need anymore info about this - Thanks

Hi,

We have fixed the align problem. The new dll is attached. We added a method PrintWithDefaultSettings() in PdfViewer . So you should change your code like this:

PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer();
viewer.OpenPdfFile("temp.pdf");
viewer.PrintWithDefaultSettings();

Any question is welcome.

Thanks for the update.  I won't be back in the office until monday to try this out.  However,  I do need to specify some of the printer settings like printer name and paper source.  I do not need to specify the pagesettings though.   Could you allow for this somehow? Thanks

Hi,

You can use the PrintDocumentWithSettings function for that.

For more information consult http://www.aspose.com/Products/Aspose.Pdf.Kit/Api/Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfViewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings.html

Thanks.

Now I am confused.

You added a new method PrintWithDefaultSettings() in PdfViewer that has the new fix.  Does the method PrintDocumentWithSettings also have the new fix?

Hi,

You shouldn't have any problems with the PrintDocumentWithSettings function.

Thanks.

Hi,

I 'll add another PrintDocumentWithSettings function with only one PrintSetting parameter to fulfil your requirement.

Regards.

I tried the above function and get the error below.  If I call the overload that takes the PageSettings I do not get the error.
