Printing PDF/Converting PDF to Postscript

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi

My main goal is to print a PDF on a predefined printer without user interaction. In case the printer does not natively support PDF I would convert the PDF file to Postscript before sending to the printer.

In order to convert PDF to Postscript your .NET documentation suggests to use PdfViewer and call its PrintDocumentWithSettings method. In Java however I am not able to this: code obfuscation of the PrinterSettings class gets in the way.

1) How do I print a PDF on a specific network printer and is printing done on a separate process or is JAVA 4's API used?

2) How do I convert a PDF to Postscript?

Thanks in advance.

Rgds,

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for your inquiry. I am afraid currently PdfViewer class is not ported completely to Java version from .NET API. Our development team is already working to include the missing features in Java version.

We have linked your request, to print on a specific network printer, to an already logged issue PDFNEWJAVA-33805.

It looked like converting from PDF to PCL would be a fallback, but this is also not supported. Is that correct?

Hi Aspose,

Is there a workaround to print pdf using the pdfviewer to a postscript?
Using the PdfViewer’s printDocumentWithSettings(PdfPrinterSettings pdfPrinterSettings) method. This is still not addressed in version 10.0.0.
Thanks.

Hi Alessandro,


Thanks for your patience.

As shared earlier, the conversion of PDF to PostScript format is currently not supported and as we recently have logged this problem, so the development team requires little time to investigate and figure out the resolution for this issue. As soon as we have some further updates, we will let you know.
