Printing PDF Document using C#

Question

Hi,

 

I am facing an issue while printing number of PDF having multiple pages.

Using AcroRd32.exe to open the PDF and send print one by one.

The issue is for a larger PDF document in a batch, for a 9 page document it does not print after 3 page or 5 page. Also we have observed that no two acrord32.exe is open same time, so how can we deal with when many users are printing same time.

Here is the code :

public void PrintPDF(string tempPath, string PrinterName)

{

const string flagNoSplashScreen = "/s";

const string flagOpenMinimized = "/h";

var flagPrintFileToPrinter = string.Format("/t \"{0}\" \"{1}\"", tempPath, PrinterName);

var args = string.Format("{0} {1} {2}", flagNoSplashScreen, flagOpenMinimized, flagPrintFileToPrinter);

try

{

Process p = new Process();

p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

p.StartInfo.FileName = "D:\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";

p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;

p.StartInfo.Arguments = args;

p.Start();

p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

if (!p.WaitForExit(5000))

{

if (!p.HasExited)

{

p.Kill();

}

}

p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

p.CloseMainWindow();

p.Close();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

//

}

}
