How to set paper size when when printing

I am trying to print a 4 x 2 inch label. I am using the below code:

Dim doc As New PDFDoc(“C:\Label.pdf”)

Dim mode As New PrinterMode
mode.SetScaleType(PrinterMode.ScaleType.e_ScaleType_None)
mode.SetAutoCenter(False)
mode.SetAutoRotate(False)

'2 inch height, 4 inch width
mode.SetPaperSize(New Rect(0, 0, 2.0 * 72, 4.1 * 72))

Dim pages As New PageSet(1, doc.GetPageCount)

PDF.Print.StartPrintJob(doc, “”, doc.GetFileName, “”, pages, mode)

However, this results in three labels getting printed, 2 blank and 1 with the text I’m using. The printer default label size is 4 x 6 inches, so I believe the printer is still using the default label size. How do I force it to use the correct label size?

You may want to try using one of predefined paper sizes with SetPaperSize(PrinterMode.PaperSize):

http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/PDFNetAPIRef/html/e0ee7a4a-af76-55af-6365-0410eee6a3ec.htm

Widows print API sometimes does not select the proper paper when using Rect parameter.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m trying to print on labels that are 4" wide by 2" tall. None of the predefined paper sizes appear to be set for that… is there a list of what size each predefined paper is? (ie - I have no idea what size e_japanese_envelope_kaku_3_rotated is, and can’t find it listed anywhere in the documentation).

These are standard Windows paper sizes.

They are listed here:

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m trying to print on labels that are 4" wide by 2" tall. None of the predefined paper sizes appear to be set for that… is there a list of what size each predefined paper is? (ie - I have no idea what size e_japanese_envelope_kaku_3_rotated is, and can’t find it listed anywhere in the documentation).

You may want to try using one of predefined paper sizes with SetPaperSize(PrinterMode.PaperSize):

Widows print API sometimes does not select the proper paper when using Rect parameter.

I am trying to print a 4 x 2 inch label. I am using the below code:

Dim doc As New PDFDoc(“C:\Label.pdf”)

Dim mode As New PrinterMode
mode.SetScaleType(PrinterMode.ScaleType.e_ScaleType_None)
mode.SetAutoCenter(False)
mode.SetAutoRotate(False)

'2 inch height, 4 inch width
mode.SetPaperSize(New Rect(0, 0, 2.0 * 72, 4.1 * 72))

Dim pages As New PageSet(1, doc.GetPageCount)

PDF.Print.StartPrintJob(doc, “”, doc.GetFileName, “”, pages, mode)

However, this results in three labels getting printed, 2 blank and 1 with the text I’m using. The printer default label size is 4 x 6 inches, so I believe the printer is still using the default label size. How do I force it to use the correct label size?

Thansk, I ended up using a solution along the lines of the 2nd example in the PDFPrint sample (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/samplecode/PDFPrint.vb). I had to tell the printer what size paper to use. We then generated the labels so that there was 1 per page in the top-left corner, then cropped the pdf page to the correct size. Sample code:

’ Create objects needed

Dim printDoc As PrintDocument = New PrintDocument

Dim doc As PDFDoc

’ Define label size

Dim width as integer = 4.1

Dim height as integer = 2

SetPaperSize(width, height)

’ PDF’s are generated as 8.5 x 11 pages with 1 label per page in the top left corner

’ Crop the pdf to label size

ResizePDF(width, height)

’ Set paper size used by the printer in inches

Private Sub SetPaperSize(ByVal width As Double, ByVal height As Double)

Dim size As New Drawing.Printing.PaperSize(“Custom Size”, width * 100, height * 100)

printDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = size

printDoc.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = size

End Sub

'Change the size of the pages in the PDF document

Private Sub ResizePDF(ByVal width as Double, ByVal height As Double)

'We only need to change the 1st page as all pages in a pdf have to be the same size

Dim page As Page = myPDFDoc.GetPage(1)

'Label dimensions in inches, converted to pdf units

Dim pdfHeight As Double = height * 72

Dim pdfWidth As Double = width * 72

'Get the box used for printing. Note that location (0, 0) on pdf documents is the bottom left corner.

'We want to create the new media box in the top right corner instead which requires some math

Dim box As Rect = page.GetMediaBox

box.x1 = 0

box.y1 = box.Height - pdfHeight

box.x2 = box.x1 + pdfWidth

box.y2 = box.y2 + pdfHeight

'Apply the conversion. All pages in memory are now the specified size

box.Update()

End Sub

The PrintPage procedure was pretty much identical to what was in the Sample page.

On a relevant note, we posted an article showing how to print PDF documents via XPS print path (Apprach #4 in https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pdfnet-sdk/fOuGOvx06Tk/EckAX-ga2i8J). This is similar to what ‘pdftron.PDF.Print.StartPrintJob’ is doing under the hood. The main issue was that MS XPS Print is COM based, so you need to use PInvoke wrapper to print XPS spool file (generated using pdftron.PDF.Convert.ToXps()). With this approach you have the advantage of low-level control (via Windows Print API) while taking advantage of efficient and high-quality PDF printing.
