set DefaultFileName

[tatiana]

Hello,
I am initializing the PDF Converter

private void Initialize()
{
// if already called then exit
if (initialized)
return;

// Set FileNameOptions and output file name.
cdiNet.FileNameOptions = Declarations.NoPrompt + Declarations.UseFileName;
cdiNet.DefaultFileName = "C:\\Work\\PDFtest.pdf";

// If not called than initialize it
cdiNet.DriverInit(Declarations.PrinterName);
//Enable the printer before each printout for the Developer version
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;
}

but the file created is c:\temp\OutputNet.pdf. I am wondering if the line of code
cdiNet.DefaultFileName = "C:\\Work\\PDFtest.pdf";
does it's job.

Thanks
Tatiana

Well...
I found the answer -
I should have called DriverInit first; this code works fine:

{

if (initialized)
return;

// If not called than initialize it
cdiNet.DriverInit(Declarations.PrinterName);
//Enable the printer before each printout for the Developer version
cdiNet.EnablePrinter(Declarations.LicensedTo, Declarations.ActivationCode);

// Set FileNameOptions and output file name.
cdiNet.FileNameOptions = Declarations.NoPrompt + Declarations.UseFileName;
cdiNet.DefaultFileName = "C:\\Work\\PDFtest.pdf";

// 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,

You are right, DriverInit should be called once when launching your application followed by EnablePrinter().

Then you will call EnablePrinter() right before each print out.

Hope this helps.
