PDF printing issue

[boyan]

Hi,
I came across two issues when printing pdf file, using GdPicture.Net SDK.
Using version 6.5 to print the attached pdf file on A3 printer, the content was moved towards right and bottom and the right border and the bottom border was cut off. There is no problem printing the attached pdf file using Acrobat Reader.
Using version 6.6 to print the attached pdf file, the clipspec logo image at the left bottom was dropped off completed.

My code is:

Code: Select all

internal static void PrintPDF(PrinterSettings ps, string pdfFile, string documentName, bool landscape, PaperSize paperSize)
        {
            using (var pdfView = new GdPicture.GdViewer())
            {
                pdfView.EnableMenu = false;
                ps.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = paperSize;
                pdfView.LockViewer = false;
                pdfView.SilentMode = true;
                pdfView.PrintSetShowPrintingProgress(false);
                pdfView.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None;
                pdfView.SetLicenseNumber("xxxxx"); //  Please replace XXXX by a valid demo or commercial license KEY
                pdfView.DisplayFromFile(pdfFile);
                pdfView.PrintSetActivePrinter(ps.PrinterName);
                pdfView.PrintSetPrinterSettings(ps);
                pdfView.PrintSetOrientation(landscape? GdPicture.PrinterOrientation.PrinterOrientationLandscape :
                                            GdPicture.PrinterOrientation.PrinterOrientationPortrait );
                pdfView.PrintSetPaperSize(paperSize);
                pdfView.PrintSetDocumentName(documentName);
                pdfView.PrintSetFromToPage(0, pdfView.PageCount);
                pdfView.Print();
                pdfView.CloseDocument();
            }
        }

Could you please help solve these issues, especially the offset one?

Thank you!

Hi Bo,

The logo problem has been identified and fixed.

For your printing issue I can't help you with your code: it includes some variable which come from other part.

Please, give us a code we can run with simple copy/paste.

Thank you for your comprehension.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Hi Loic,
Thank you very much for your quick fixing. I have uploaded a .Net solution (requires VS2008 and .net 3.5SP1). Please copy the required 3 GdPicture.Net dll files to the project folder to run, as they are too big to upload. I am using the latest GdPicture.Net version 6.6.
When using this solution to print the attached PDF file to several hardware A3 printers, the bottom and right border were cut off. To print it to virtual printers such as PDFCreator, the margin is correct.
There is no problem to print that file using Acrobat reader. Could you please help me solve this issue asap?

Thank you!

There are more issues when printing the attached A3-1.pdf:
1. Masked out information are printed out using GdPicture library in previous uploaded test solution. When compared with the PDF viewed using Acrobat reader, lots of extra information appears on the bottom of printed hard copy.
2. The dotted connection lines are not printed exactly as in the pdf file.
3. Solid lines with arrows are not printed with the correct width/thickness.

Could you please solve these issues asap?

Thanks!
