iTextSharp PDF printing

Question

I\'m trying to create a method that will send a PDF file directly to my printer (causing the print dialog to appear).

Below is the code I\'ve been working on - most

Answer 1

I found a way to do this here: http://wskidmore.com/2011/03/pdf-initial-view-settings-itextsharp/

Based on that, I wrote this code:

private void PrintMenu()
{
    ...
    var notUriPath = Server.MapPath("~/" + filePathName);

    var doc = new Document();
    var reader = new PdfReader(notUriPath);
    using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, memoryStream);
        doc.Open();

        // this action leads directly to printer dialogue
        var jAction = PdfAction.JavaScript("this.print(true);\r", writer);
        writer.AddJavaScript(jAction);

        var cb = writer.DirectContent;
        doc.AddDocListener(writer);

        for (var p = 1; p <= reader.NumberOfPages; p++)
        {
            doc.SetPageSize(reader.GetPageSize(p));
            doc.NewPage();
            var page = writer.GetImportedPage(reader, p);
            var rot = reader.GetPageRotation(p);
            if (rot == 90 || rot == 270)
                cb.AddTemplate(page, 0, -1.0F, 1.0F, 0, 0, reader.GetPageSizeWithRotation(p).Height);
            else
                cb.AddTemplate(page, 1.0F, 0, 0, 1.0F, 0, 0);
        }

        reader.Close();
        doc.Close();
        File.WriteAllBytes(notUriPath, memoryStream.ToArray());
    }

    theIframeForPrint.Attributes.Add("src", fullFilePath);
}

I hope it helps!
