Hi, try this:

// Reference cdintf.dll in installation root of PDF Creator Developper version

string strLicensTo;
string printerName;
string strActivationCode;

strLicensTo = "Evaluation Version Developer";
printerName = "Amyuni PDF Converter";
strActivationCode = "07EF...";

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

cdi.PDFDriverInit(printerName);
cdi.DriverInit(printerName);
cdi.EnablePrinter(strLicensTo, strActivationCode);
cdi.DefaultFileName = @"C:\Test\AAA.pdf";
cdi.FileNameOptionsEx = 3; //NoPrompt + UseFileName
cdi.SetDefaultPrinter();
cdi.BatchConvert(@"C:\Test\AAA.doc");
cdi.RestoreDefaultPrinter();
cdi.FileNameOptions = 0;

It works correctly, but my question is: it is correct ?

cdintf.dll is correct Dll ? or it is a wrapper of someting else ?

Answer please ...


Thanks and best regards

Hello,

I will post here a C# sample that prints Crystal Reports to PDF using CDintfNet.dll (.Net version of CDIntf).

You can download the .Net version of CDIntf from: http://www.amyuni.com/downloads/cdintf250.zip

Code: Select all

private void Print_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
                // Initialize the PDF Printer if not initialized yet
	if ( !initialized )
	Initialize();

                // Set FileNameOptions and output file name.
               cdiNet.FileNameOptions =  Declarations.NoPrompt+           Declarations.UseFileName;
               cdiNet.DefaultFileName = outputNet;
	
               // Initialize a new Crystal report object
              CrystalReport1 report = new CrystalReport1();
              //Select the Printer to which the report will be printed
              report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = Declarations.PrinterName;

             //Print the report, set startpageN and endPageN to 0 to print all   document
             report.PrintToPrinter(1,false,0,0);

cdiNet.FileNameOptions = 0;
}

private void Initialize()
{
	// if already called then exit
	if (initialized)
	return;
			
	// If not called than initialize it
	cdiNet.DriverInit(Declarations.PrinterName);
	cdiNet.EnablePrinter (Declarations.LicensedTo, Declarations.ActivationCode);

	// Set the Printer as Default, this is needed only if you can not print to a specific printer
	cdiNet.SetDefaultPrinter();

	// Set initialized to true
	initialized = true;
}

Hello,

CDIntf.dll can be used as an AcitiveX or as a DLL.

We have a special .Net version of CDIntf that contains the main functions of CDintf (and not all of them). You can use it if you wish.

Hope this helps.

How con I convert a file in pdf using CDIntfNet.dll ?

You can open the file using its corresponding application (automation) and print it to the PDF printer similarly to the code posted above.

Hope this helps.
