I need help, what i have to do to use pdfcreator with a web apllication, a need to print without the need of the print dialog. My question is what i have to do to print without the print dialog (window print), in a server.
thanks
If you dont want to see the dialog window of PDF creator, then enable Auto save option and set a directory to where u want to save the PDF. I hope this is what you are looking for.
Can the web service also specify the file name to create, and determine when the file creation process has finished?
Hi,
I also have a problem with running PDFCreator via web-interface. I tried several different ways (our Windows script, my ActiveX dll, and my console program), but everywhere the result is negative.
The purpose of my task - to convert PPT files to PDF on server side. As a Web server I'm using Windows Web Server 2008. This server have installed MS Office 2007, and PDFCreator.
It seems to me beyond just solving this problem, I moved in version console program. In this case, my program runs PDFCreator, which in turn (as I see in the process monitor) runs the PowerPoint program. I also see (in a log file of my program), that the latest call in my program is a call PDFCreator's procedure PDFCreator.cPrintfile. After it all hangs. Also in the process monitor I can see that PDFCreator works and uses nearly 100% CPU.
In this case, the same program running locally on the server correctly performs conversion from PPT to PDF.
Below you can see a fragment of my code to convert (VB6):
Public Sub PPT_2_PDF()
Dim PPTFileName As String, Path As String, FileName As String
PPTFileName = Trim$(PPTInput)
If "" <> Dir(PPTFileName) Then
SplitPath PPTFileName, , Path, FileName
Set PDFCreator1 = New clsPDFCreator
Set pErr = New clsPDFCreatorError
With PDFCreator1
.cVisible = False
On Error GoTo errLabel
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup") = False Then
If .cStart("/NoProcessingAtStartup", True) = False Then Exit Sub
End If
' Get the options
printLog "Start", True
Set opt = .cOptions
.cClearCache
End With
With opt
.AutosaveDirectory = Path
.AutosaveFilename = FileName
.UseAutosave = 1
.UseAutosaveDirectory = 1
.AutosaveFormat = 0 ' PDF
End With
Set PDFCreator1.cOptions = opt
printLog "Set options", True
DefaultPrinter = PDFCreator1.cDefaultPrinter
printLog "Get default printer: >" & DefaultPrinter & "<", True
PDFCreator1.cDefaultPrinter = "PDFCreator"
printLog "Set default printer: >" & PDFCreator1.cDefaultPrinter & "<", True
isPrint = True
PDFCreator1.cPrintFile (PPTFileName)
printLog "Start print file", True
PDFCreator1.cPrinterStop = False
StartTime = Now
myWait
End If
Exit Sub
errLabel:
convertState = "Error!"
End Sub
Private Sub myWait()
Do While isPrint
printLog Now, True
DoEvents
Loop
PDFCreator1.cDefaultPrinter = DefaultPrinter
PDFCreator1.cClose
End Sub
Private Sub PDFCreator1_eReady()
PDFCreator1.cPrinterStop = True
Screen.MousePointer = vbNormal
convertState = "Done"
printLog "Done", True
isPrint = False
End Sub
What could be the reason for such behavior?
