CPXCPrinter.Option(s) are ignored

[cobra_sk]

Hi,

i am currently using evaluation version of Driver API SDK (ehm, I believe its this one), just to test the integration to our product.
I configured printer as follows

Code: Select all

_printer.ResetDefaults()
_printer.Option("Save.File") = IO.Path.ChangeExtension(_file.LocalName, "pdf")
_printer.Option("Save.ShowSaveDialog") = 0
_printer.Option("Save.WhenExists") = 1  'Overwrite
_printer.Option("Save.RunApp") = 0
_printer.Option("Saver.ShowProgress") = 0
_printer.Option("Fonts.WriteToUnicode") = 0
_printer.Option("DocInfo.Title") = _file.FileName.Name
_printer.ApplyOptions(0)
Editor.PrintOut(False, _printer.Name, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

The Editor is 3rd-party component to integrate Word 2003.

The problem is that all properties set through "_printer.Option" are ignored, i.e. SaveDialog a Progress are displayed.
It's "feature" of evalution version or is there some magic I missed, when I was reading manual.

I am using VB.NET (.NET 3.5)

Thanks,
Lukas

P.S.:
Sorry if it was discussed elsewhere, I used (really, I did) search, but found nothing

Please try the example Application which is distributed with SDK.

Does this work as requried or does it show the Save dialog too?

The compiled examples worked as expected.

But I installed PDF-XChange Lite 4 (instead of only drivers) and voila it just works.

Thank you for your time.

Cheers,

Lukas

Hi,

One thing - PDF-XChange Lite has no developer's API - so I would caution you against thinking that using the Lite version is an answer to your issue - unless you meant you had installed the Lite version incorrectly and have now installed the full version for DEV's ?

Honestly, I don't know what solved that issue. But after installation of Lite version (what did you mean by installed incorrectly?) I was able to produce PDFs as expected.

And I tried it on another computer and there was enough to install API SDK to get it work. So maybe it was Word/.NET/Windows/Universe kind of problem

Anyway, everything works and I am able to produce beautiful PDFs.

Cheers,

Lukas
