I would like to know how to print a PDF from a Windows service while specifying which printer to use.
I tried with PDFViewer, but apparently I have an error "Format string input invalid"
An idea, a procedure?
I try to open my pdf with Acrobat and it's ok. But, with PDFViewer, i have a error.
If I use PrintLargePdf => Error
If I use OpenPdfFile => Error
And always the same error : "Format invalid"
Hi Laurent,
I have tested this issue at my end and found no problem. I have used the following code:
PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer();
viewer.OpenPdfFile(common.Path("tmp86A.pdf"));
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings pset = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
pset.Copies = 1; //specify number of copies
pset.PrinterName = "HP Officejet 4300 series"; // name of default printer to be used
viewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings(pset); //pass printer settings object to the method
viewer.ClosePdfFile();
Kindly try this code snippet at your end. You can also use this code in the windows service and specify the printer name as well. If you still find any problem, please do let us know.
Regards,
Hi Laurent,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. In fact, common.Path has nothing to do with the actual code; that is my custom method to resolve the path to the test files. You can specify the path as OpenPdfFile(@"c:\test").
Please try it like this. If problem still persists then please make make a sample windows project with your code and share with us, so that we could have a look and find the problem.

Please share your code with us and the detailed error message as well. Kindly, mention which version of Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET you're using? Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit machine? Which OS are you using.
