Our application is for a public terminal and, therefore, we would like to indicate to the user that their printing (to a PDF file) is progressing.
Is there any way of determining the number of pages that will be processed (before they are received) in the StartDoc event? Our application is not doing the printing but intercepting a print from another app., e.g. Internet Explorer, MS Word, etc.
Printing progress
Hello Colin,
Mainly our Event messages will enable you to intercept messages send by the driver. Ie when printing starts you will get a message, while each page is being printed you will get another message.
We have a function that can give you the number of pages in a pdf file, but we can't know the number of pages in Word document or Html file, you need to check in Word by example if there is a function to give you the number of pages when opening the file.
If you find such fuction you can use it to show something like:
"page 1 of 4 is being printed"
Hope this helps.
