Print pdf document from asp.net on the server

Hello!

I am trying to print a pdf document from asp.net. On my Windows Vista 7 it works ok, but on the Windows 2008 Server, nothing is printed and it does not throw an exception.

This is the sourcecode:

PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer();
string strPath = Server.MapPath("test.pdf");

viewer.OpenPdfFile(strPath);
viewer.AutoResize = true; //print the file with adjusted size
viewer.AutoRotate = true; //print the file with adjusted rotation
viewer.PrintPageDialog = false; //do not produce the page number dialog when printing

//create objects for printer and page settings and PrintDocument
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings ps = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();
System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings pgs = new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings();

System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument prtdoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();

ps.PrinterName = "\\MyServer\Myprinter";

//set PageSize (if required)
pgs.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("A4", 827, 1169);
pgs.Margins = new System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0);

//print document using printer and page settings
viewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings(pgs, ps);

//close the PDF file after priting
viewer.ClosePdfFile();

thx for your help

Hi Michael,

Are you trying to print the PDF document on the client end using ASP.NET application? I would just like to inform you that you can’t print the PDF file on the client end. Aspose.Pdf.Kit can only print the PDF file on the server end when used in ASP.NET application; or it can print on any machine if it is a Windows From application.

I hope this helps. If you think I haven’t understood your requirement clearly or you have some more questions, please do let us know.
Regards,

Hi Michael,

I have tested this issue at my end on Windows Server 2008 using .NET Framework 4.0 and latest version of Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET (4.6.0), but I couldn’t notice any problem; the PDF file is printed successfully. Can you please download the latest version and try with that?

If you still find any issues or have some more questions, please do let us know.

Error 1 The type or namespace name ‘PdfViewer’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Plz help me.

Hi Ankit,

First of all, please add reference to the Aspose.Pdf.Kit for .NET DLL.
Secondly, either use the class name with the complete namespace i.e. Aspose.Pdf.Kit.PdfViewer, or import the namespace and then use PdfViewer class, just like any other .NET assembly.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.
