Printing multiple print jobs to single file fails

Post by ruc2827 »

I am developing an application that calls another process command line to create multiple print jobs. The process I call prints all output to the default printer, so I am configuring Amyuni to print to a specified file and to concatenate the pdf to the existing file (NoPrompt, UseFileName, Concatenate options). This works when the called process only creates a single print job, but fails when it tries to print mulitple print jobs. It is possible that the called process actually spawns another process for the second print job to invoke a third party product to print graphic pages. Would Amyuni be failing because multiple processes are trying to print to it and it thinks the second process isn't authorized? Is there anyway around this? I am able to do this successfully when calling the application manually and using the end-user professional edition of Amyuni. It is just failing with the professional developer edition.

Also, can Amyuni PDF Converter Professional End User edition be used programatically? This would solve my problem, but apparently it can not be called programatically.

Hello,

If you are using version 2.10 of the driver, this issue can be overcomed by calling EnablePrinter() when catching the EnablePre() event generated by the driver.

Hope this helps.
