Printing PDF Document to multiple printer trays

[Dylan_Spire]

Hi,

I would like to print a PdfDocument object to the middle tray (2), but when the below code runs the very first page always prints from the top tray (1) and then the following pages are printed from the middle tray (2). I've played around with the start/end page parameters but no luck. Not sure where i'm going wrong

Code: Select all

var loPaperSources = new List<PdfPaperSourceTray>();
var collections = doc.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PaperSources;
loPaperSources.Add(new PdfPaperSourceTray
{
      StartPage = 0,
      EndPage = doc.Pages.Count-1,
      PrintPaperSource = collections[2]//middle tray
});
doc.PageSettings.ListPaperSourceTray = loPaperSources;
doc.PrintDocument.Print();


Also is Spire capable of printing multiple PdfDocument objects in one batch while printing to multiple trays. i.e. Merge two documents together then print pages 1-2 from tray 1, print pages 3-4 from tray 2 then print page 5 from tray 1 again?

Thanks

Dear Dylan_Spire,

Thanks for your inquiry.
We will investigate the printer tray issue you mentioned, once there is any progress, we will inform you.
Also, here is a guide for merging files, you can merge the files and then print it.

Hi Betsy,

I think I just face the same problem, seems the e-iceblue PdfOne.Net can't control the output tray for the very first page. (Startpage=0). Any idea?

Hi, I'm having the same issue, is there a fix?

I've tried everything I can think of, but Spire always prints page 1 from tray 1. This is a showstopper for our project.

Thanks in advance

Hello doobiaus,

Thanks for your inquiry.
We have made some progress on the feature. Please download the latest version(Spire.PDF Pack(Hot Fix) Version:3.9.538) and use the code below to have a try.

Code: Select all

            using(PdfDocument doc= new PdfDocument("inputfile.pdf"))
            {
                doc.PrintSettings.PaperSettings += delegate(object sender1, PdfPaperSettingsEventArgs ev)
                {
                    //eg.print page 1 and 2 to the second paper tray
                    if (1 <= ev.CurrentPaper && ev.CurrentPaper <= 2)
                    {
                        //CurrentPaperSource-> the current paper source on the printer.
                        //PaperSources-> the paper source trays that are available on the printer.
                        ev.CurrentPaperSource = ev.PaperSources[1];
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //other papers on the first paper try
                        ev.CurrentPaperSource = ev.PaperSources[0];
                    }

                };
            }
