Set document paper source

[vtoderica]

Hi!
I have an Pdf file and I need that first 2 pages to be printed on printer tray 1 and the rest on printer tray 2.
How can I do that when I use Spire.PDF?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Please try the following code snippet.

Code: Select all

  PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
           doc.LoadFromFile(input);

           doc.PrinterName =printer1;
           doc.PrintFromPage = 1;
           doc.PrintToPage = 2;
           doc.PrintDocument.Print();

           doc.PrinterName = printer2;
           doc.PrintFromPage = 3;
     
           doc.PrintDocument.Print();

Thank you for the fast reply.
The problem is that I have the same printer with many trays. For ex the printer with name: SinglePDFPrinter has yellow sheets on tray1 and blue sheets on tray2 . And I want to print the first 2 pages yellow and the rest blue.

( the same property as in : System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSource )
Could we do that?
( Do you know where/how I can get the x64 bit version for Spire.PDF?)

Hi,

Sorry, please try the following solution. Our Spire.PDF can work for 32bit and 64bit.

Code: Select all

  PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
           doc.LoadFromFile(input);
           PrinterSettings.PaperSourceCollection collections = doc.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PaperSources;
           List<PdfPaperSourceTray> loPaperSources = new List<PdfPaperSourceTray>();
           if (loPaperSources.Count >= 4)

           {
               PdfPaperSourceTray tray = new PdfPaperSourceTray();
               tray.StartPage = 0;
               tray.EndPage = 1;
               tray.PrintPaperSource = collections[2];
               loPaperSources.Add(tray);
               PdfPaperSourceTray tray1 = new PdfPaperSourceTray();
               tray1.StartPage = 2;
               tray1.EndPage = 3;
               tray1.PrintPaperSource = collections[3];
               loPaperSources.Add(tray);
           }
           else
           {
               for (int i = 0; i < collections.Count; i++)

               {
                   PdfPaperSourceTray tray = new PdfPaperSourceTray();
                   tray.StartPage = i * 2;
                   tray.EndPage = (i + 1) * 2;
                   tray.PrintPaperSource = collections[i];
                   loPaperSources.Add(tray);
               }
           }
           doc.PageSettings.ListPaperSourceTray = loPaperSources;
           doc.PrintDocument.Print();

Hi Amy!

Thank you for your fast & professional response. It helped me!
I have one more question. The resulted *.pdf is actually a picture? ( because I cannot for select a text, or search for a text)
Is there an option/solution to have real pdf files? ( We actually need this for some "special" clients that use software printers)

Thanks again! Have an easy week

Hi,

Thanks for your further inquiry.
Yes, the content of the printed document is stored in the form of pictures.
Sorry that there is no options on printing function to do this.
