UGH

[nelson4183]

This just isn't making sense to me.

I'm using C# and ASP .Net. All I want to do is pull some (html) text from a database, maybe load it in a literal (I would prefer to send the string directly to the PDF Printer) and then print the damn page to PDF.

I've seen the post for c# examples, but that doesn't work for me. I keep getting a "device not ready" error when I try to set the default printer.
-Also, I always return 0 when i use DriverInit();
-im supposed to use printDoc.Print() but how am I supposed to do that when I never get to add anything to the printDoc.
-am I supposed to be using the .Net printDoc or the CDIntfEx.Document

Maybe it's just me, but it seems that the documentation is real hard to understand. Some examples use the ActiveX, some use unmangaed code and pointers, some don't....what the heck?


CDIntfEx.CDIntfEx PDF = new CDIntfEx.CDIntfExClass() ;

int j = PDF.DriverInit ("Amyuni PDF Converter");
j = PDF.EnablePrinter ("Suite Evaluation Developer Pro", CODE);

PDF.DefaultDirectory = "c:\\";
//Complete path of resulting PDF document
PDF.DefaultFileName = "c:\\fromCsharp.pdf";
//Set printer as default
bool b = PDF.SetDefaultPrinter();
PDF.FileNameOptionsEx = (int)(NO_PROMPT + USE_FILE_NAME);
j = PDF.EnablePrinter ("", CODE);

//supposedly some code to printDoc.Print()

PDF.RestoreDefaultPrinter();
PDF.FileNameOptions = 0;
PDF.DriverEnd();

Hello,

If you need to convert HTML text to PDF, the best way is to convert your HTML text to HTML pages and print these pages to the PDF Printer.
