'PdfDocument.PrintDocument' is obsolete

[mmassei]

Hi,

upgrading from version 3.9 to the latest 3.9.360 of Spire.PDF (.NET), Visual Studio notified me with a list of warnings 'PdfDocument.PrintDocument' is obsolete: 'This property may be removed in the future, please use the property of PrintSettings to setting or the method of Print to printing.'

How should I edit the instruction:
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.OriginAtMargins = true;

Where can I find the API reference?

Thanks.

Hello mmassei,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Since we made some modification interiorly, and the settings under PrintDocument can be managed in other ways, we just maked it obsolete. Anyway, you can still utilize it if you like.
Concerning the margin settings, you could refer to the following code. There's no need to declare the pdfdocument.PrintDocument.OriginAtMargins = true; at present.

Code: Select all

 doc.PrintSettings.SetPaperMargins(40,40,40,40);

By the way, the API has not been updated so far. Once it is done, I will inform you.

Hi Jane,

yes, I tried the code but it doesn't solve my inquiry.

My working code with v. 3.9 is:

Code: Select all

pdfdocument.PrinterName = printerConf.printerName;
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("MyPaper", width, height);
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = false;
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = new Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.OriginAtMargins = true;
pdfdocument.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.Copies = 1;
pdfdocument.PageScaling = PdfPrintPageScaling.ActualSize;
pdfdocument.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait;


With v. 3.9.360, trying to replace all the PrintDocument occurrence with the equivalent in PrintSettings, I tried with the following code:

Code: Select all

pdfdocument.PrintSettings.PrinterName = printerConf.printerName;
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.SelectSinglePageLayout(PdfSinglePageScalingMode.ActualSize, false );
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("MyPaper", width, height);
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.SetPaperMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
pdfdocument.PageSettings.Orientation = PdfPageOrientation.Portrait;
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.Landscape = false;
pdfdocument.PrintSettings.Copies = 1;


But this code prints the document starting at the left hard margin, while I need that the document starts at the left edge of the paper. That is the purpose of the instruction:

Code: Select all

pdfdocument.PrintDocument.OriginAtMargins = true;
