Pre-purchase question- regarding printing

Hi

I have downloaded the trial version and it appears to do most of what I require. I have one question regarding printing.

One of the requirements of my development is that I must produce a PCL file. My question is how the Renderer generates the file. Is the file being converted to another format before it is sent to the printer. The quality of the output is not as good as when the file is printed from word. It almost appears as if it is an enlarged bitmap.

From reading other messages on the forum I understand that there will a new renderer will this produce better results and when is it due, as the last message I read said April 2007!

PS i have just noticed that I only get the first page of the document and pagefrom does not work. I have included a sample of my code below.

Thank

FCB

doc = New Document("T:\Docs\42620.doc")

Dim renderer As DocumentRenderer = New DocumentRenderer(doc)

renderer.PageBounds = PageBounds.Border

renderer.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "PUMP"

renderer.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = "Y:\mark\a1234.prn"

renderer.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True

renderer.Print()

Hi,

Thank you for considering Aspose.Words. You are correct, the current viewer beta was abandoned and we provide very limited technical support on it. The new renderer is under intense development but still several months away. However, once completed, it will be producing awesome results.

Thanks for the reply, I will just have to continue with my unstable word automation for the time being.
