Hello,

we´ve got an issue with printing a specific PDF File on the Microsoft XPS Document Writer, it creates a corrupt file. On a regular printer I get only an blank page.

Here is the file: testPDF.pdf (1.1 MB)

I am using the following code:

public override void Print(PrinterSettings printerSettings, PageSettings pageSettings)
{
using (new Document(“FileName”))
{
using (PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer(document))
{
try
{
viewer.PrintPageDialog = false;
if (printerSettings == null)
printerSettings = viewer.GetDefaultPrinterSettings();

                    if (pageSettings == null)
                        pageSettings = viewer.GetDefaultPageSettings();

                    viewer.PrintDocument(pageSettings, printerSettings);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                { throw ExceptionBuilder.NewException(ex); }
                finally
                {
                    viewer.Close();
                }
            }
        }

Best regards

Thank you for contacting support.

Would you please also share the code snippet specifying PrinterSettings and PageSettings including Print method call. Please also share generated files as a single zipped file for our reference. Before sharing requested data, kindly ensure using Aspose.PDF for .NET 18.11 in your environment.

Hello Farhan,

i attached a corrupt XPS File, created from the already attached PDF File by using the Print Function of the Viewer and with the “Microsoft XPS Document Writer” as Default Printer. I also changed the Code snippet a bit, because the specification of PrinterSettings and PageSettings from outside the method does not matter:

public override void Print()
        {
            using (Document document = new Document(Filename))
            {
                using (PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer(document))
                {
                    try
                    {
                        viewer.AutoResize = true;
                        viewer.PrintPageDialog = false;
                        PrinterSettings printerSettings = viewer.GetDefaultPrinterSettings();
                        PageSettings pageSettings = viewer.GetDefaultPageSettings();
                        viewer.PrintDocument(pageSettings, printerSettings);
                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    { throw ExceptionBuilder.NewException(ex); }
                    finally
                    {
                        viewer.Close();
                    }
                }
            }

Here is a zip file containing the PDF source File and the corrupted XPs File generated through the Print Method of the Viewer. files.zip (1.0 MB)
