create pdf from printout of application

PDFCreator
1

Hi,

I want to create pdf with at least 4000dpi print quality. My application has only printout method. I just want to make PDF from an application with printout option.

I'm creating a PDFCreator output with the following code, but it gives poor quality output (last 600dpi with vb.net).

Code:

Imports pdfforge.PDFCreator.UI.ComWrapper
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim btApp As BarTender.Application
    Dim btFormat As BarTender.Format
    Dim btObject As BarTender.DesignObject
    btApp = New BarTender.Application
    Dim btSubString As BarTender.SubString
    btApp.Visible = False
    btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("C:\test\6PAGE.btw", False, "")
    btFormat.Printer = "PDFCreator"
    Dim oJobQueue As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("PDFCreator.JobQueue")
    Dim PDFCreatorQueue As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(oJobQueue)
    Dim PrintJob As Object
    Dim fullPath As String
    fullPath = Path.Combine("c:\test\", "ozkantest.pdf")
    PDFCreatorQueue.Initialize()
    btFormat.PrintOut(False, False)
    PDFCreatorQueue.WaitForJob(10)
    PrintJob = PDFCreatorQueue.NextJob
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("OutputFormat", "Pdf")
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("Name", "Pdf")
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("TitleTemplate", "Pdf")
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("AuthorTemplate", "Pdf")
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("PdfSettings.CompressColorAndGray.Compression", "Zip") ' Settings for the compression method. Valid values: Automatic, JpegMaximum, JpegHigh, JpegMedium, JpegLow, JpegMinimum, JpegManual, Zip
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("PdfSettings.CompressColorAndGray.Dpi", "4000") '    Images will be resampled to this maximum resolution of the images, if resampling is enabled
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("PdfSettings.CompressColorAndGray.Enabled", True) '  If true, color and grayscale images will be processed according to the algorithm. If false, they will remain uncompressed
    PrintJob.SetProfileSetting("PdfSettings.CompressColorAndGray.Resampling", True) '   If true, the images will be resampled to a maximum resolution
    PrintJob.ConvertTo(fullPath)

    PDFCreatorQueue.ReleaseCom()
    PDFCreatorQueue.Clear()
    PrintJob = Nothing
    PDFCreatorQueue = Nothing
    oJobQueue = Nothing

    btFormat.Close(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges)
    btApp.Quit()
    btApp = Nothing
End Sub

End Class

I chose the highest(4000dpi) in the printer settings, but it doesn't change at all.

Is there a solution to it or do i have to create a pdf with an alternative method?

I don't have a solution for the alternative. I'm waiting for your help. Thank you.

Hi,

does the original image have 4000 or more DPI?
PDFCreator can only downsample , the DPI will never be higher than that of the original document.
Your settings look correct.

Best regards

Robin

Hi

The setting is 4000 but not more than 600. 4000 works when I get it manually.
4000 does not work with this function.
