Hello,

I am new to MigraDoc & PDFSharp but it is very simple to use. Creating documents is really easy.

Today I have tried to print a generated document and I always get an error message while using DocumentFromFile:

My System is in German and says:

"Symbol '\\document' erwartet, '%' vorgefunden."
In English it should be something like "Symbol '\\document' expected, '%' found".

I also have tried to open regular PDF that are nor generated by MigraDoc.

This is the code I am using for printing:
Code:
try
            {
                Document document = MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlReader.DocumentFromFile(file);
                string ddl = MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.IO.DdlWriter.WriteToString(document);

                MigraDoc.Rendering.DocumentRenderer doc = new DocumentRenderer(document);

                MigraDoc.Rendering.Printing.MigraDocPrintDocument print = new MigraDoc.Rendering.Printing.MigraDocPrintDocument();
                print.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Dell MFP Laser 3115cn PS";
                print.Renderer = doc;
                print.Print();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                String msg = e.Message;
            }


The error message appears already at the first line "Document document..."

I am using the actual assemblies. What I am doing wrong?

Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards,
Bjoern

Hi!

The DdlReader can read MigraDoc DDL files.
It cannot read PS or PDF files.

To print PDF files, try the PdfFilePrinter class.

Or print directly from MigraDoc instead of creating a PDF file (currently this works with the GDI+ build only).

Thanks for your feedback.

The PdfFilePrinter class uses Acrobat(Reader) it is not installed and will never be.

So I have tried to print directly from MigraDoc (additional to creating a PDF because it's needed too):

Code:
MigraDoc.Rendering.DocumentRenderer doc = new DocumentRenderer(myDocument);
MigraDoc.Rendering.Printing.MigraDocPrintDocument print = new MigraDoc.Rendering.Printing.MigraDocPrintDocument();
print.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Dell MFP Laser 3115cn PS";
print.Renderer = doc;
print.Print();


Unfortunately nothing happens. The name of the printer I had copied and pasted directly from system information so I think it is correct.

Is this the right way or could it a problem with the configuration of my workstation?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards
Bjoern

You can invoke the Windows dialog to fill the PrinterSettings.

Code:
PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings();

using (PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog())
{
  dialog.PrinterSettings = printerSettings;
  dialog.AllowSelection = true;
  dialog.AllowSomePages = true;
  dialog.ShowDialog();
}


This way you will see what's inside and how you have to specify printer name, printer port and such.

I have tried the PrintDialog and the name I used is correct.

Unfortunately nothing happens if I call Print() on my document. I have tried to print on my local PDFCreator too.
It absolutely happens nothing!?

But the PDF-Document itself is saved as expected.

Any hints?

Kind regards

On 64 bit platforms, be sure to set dialog.UseEXDialog to value true, else the dialog will not show (see here for MSDN info).
