Landscape Printing

[bule]

I have a question about printing.

I usually print vertical oriented documents and for that I use either IE plugin or Datagrid. However, I have one document that has to be landscape, so I'm asking what is the best way to go from here? What to use so that user doesn't have to manually change printing settings each time?

I found a great solution here: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/e...cape-test.html

Have you tried the PDFOut dll from Worm. That is what I use. You can set the page orientation. If the data you want to print is in a database then this works very well. I gave up on using html for printing due to too many issues.

Yeah, don't underestimate ol' Worm. I'm still eagarly awaiting that dll that flips your monitor upside down. Now I'll buy that for a dollar

Here's the link to the PDFOut post in case you're interested.

Its a little cumbersome, but once you get used to it, it's really easy to use. Best of all it's FREE

Yeah but once I create a PDF, how do I print it from the APMS?

By the way, is there a chance to integrate Foxit PDF dll into APMS.
Take a look here: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_sdk.php

File.Print(sPathToPDFFile)

[bule]

Won't that actually open a default PDF handler in Windows before actually printing the file?

[Worm]

That method would, but you could also load the PDF into the web object, then send the javascript:Print() command to print it too.

What about that Foxit PDF dll? Any info on it's pricing?

That does sound very interesting. You have to contact them for pricing.

It would be nice if IndigoRose and Foxit could make some contract between them...

Imagine native PDF support (PDF object) in APMS!
