Hello,

You can not use the online version of the PDF Creator from the command prompt.

Why do you need to print a pdf file from the command prompt while specifying the printer name and printer tray while you can do this from the UI version of the Creator?

I need to print a pdf file from within some code

Code: Select all

winAPI::shellExecute('C:\\Programmer\\Adobe\\Reader 8.0\\Reader\\AcroRd32.exe',' /t \"q:\pdfFile2.pdf\"','','');
this will let me print it but I cant choose a printer tray and it wont work by setting up the printer mannually cause it needs to run in a batch.

so I was wondering if it was possible to do this with any of your products

Hello,

You can use the PDF Creator from inside your application programatically as an ActiveX to print pdf files to a physical printer while setting the paper tray.

For more information please download an evaluation version of the PDF Creator from our site www.amyuni.com

Please check the Developers' manual "PDF Creator Developer Manual.pdf" that you will receive when deploying the PDF Creator.

If you need further information please let us know or contact support@amyuni.com. We provide technical support for all users evaluating our products.

:D nm reading the start of the dev manual points out:
PDFCreactiveX.dll
This is the main PDF ActiveX control that provides viewing, editing and printing of PDF documents. This DLL should be
registered on the client system.
