Hello

I am pretty sure, that I have seen it somewhere in the samples, but I can not find it anymore.
I want to create a pdf which should be printed on the main printer (or any other?) without any preview.

Thanks for Help

Hi!

PDFsharp cannot print PDF files.

You can create a PDF file and then invoke Adobe Reader to print (via command line options).

Or run your code twice: first to create a PDF, then to print it.

Ok! What you tell is what I want.

And this is what I actually do:
all VB.NET

Code:
pdfRenderer.PdfDocument.Save(filename)
Process.Start(filename)


And I tried this and this works, but after printing the Adobe Icon stays in the task bar, which is not very nice. Is there a better way?
Code:
...
pdfRenderer.PdfDocument.Save(filename)
Print_Document(filename)
...

Private Sub Print_Document(ByVal strDocpath As String)
        Dim p As New Process
        p.StartInfo.FileName = strDocpath
        p.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
        p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
        p.Start()
End Sub

Finally it works well like this:

I found this pdf viewer "SumatraPDF" which is very smart and fast. and it works nice with this VB Net Code:
Code:
Process.Start("C:\projekte\SumatraPDF\SumatraPDF.exe", "-silent -exit-on-print -print-to-default " & filename)
