Print a PDF

Native PDF document printing renders the document content directly to the printer, so it is fast and requires less memory.

The following is a sample method that illustrates how to print a PDF from a Windows Form project using the ImGearPDFDocument.Print() method:

C#	Copy Code
using System.Drawing.Printing; public void PrintPDF(ImGearDocument igDocument) { using (ImGearPDFDocument igPDFDocument = (ImGearPDFDocument)igDocument) { ImGearPDFPrintOptions printOptions = new ImGearPDFPrintOptions(); PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument(); // Use default Windows printer. printOptions.DeviceName = printDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName; // Print all pages. printOptions.StartPage = 0; printOptions.EndPage = igDocument.Pages.Count; igPDFDocument.Print(printOptions); } return; }

Copy Code

using System.Drawing.Printing;
       public void PrintPDF(ImGearDocument igDocument)
       {
           using (ImGearPDFDocument igPDFDocument = (ImGearPDFDocument)igDocument)
           {
               ImGearPDFPrintOptions printOptions = new ImGearPDFPrintOptions();
               PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument();
               // Use default Windows printer.
               printOptions.DeviceName = printDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
                    // Print all pages.
               printOptions.StartPage = 0;
               printOptions.EndPage = igDocument.Pages.Count;
               igPDFDocument.Print(printOptions);
           }
           return;
       }

VB.NET	Copy Code
Imports System.Drawing.Printing Public Sub PrintPDF(igDocument As ImGearDocument) Using igPDFDocument As ImGearPDFDocument = DirectCast(igDocument, ImGearPDFDocument) Dim printOptions As New ImGearPDFPrintOptions() Dim printDocument As New PrintDocument() ' Use default Windows printer. printOptions.DeviceName = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName ' Print all pages. printOptions.StartPage = 0 printOptions.EndPage = igDocument.Pages.Count igPDFDocument.Print(printOptions) End Using Return End Sub

VB.NET

Copy Code

Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Public Sub PrintPDF(igDocument As ImGearDocument)
           Using igPDFDocument As ImGearPDFDocument = DirectCast(igDocument, ImGearPDFDocument)
               Dim printOptions As New ImGearPDFPrintOptions()
               Dim printDocument As New PrintDocument()
               ' Use default Windows printer.
               printOptions.DeviceName = printDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName
               ' Print all pages.
               printOptions.StartPage = 0
               printOptions.EndPage = igDocument.Pages.Count
               igPDFDocument.Print(printOptions)
           End Using
           Return
       End Sub

The .NET reference System.Drawing.dll is required for this snippet.
