print pdf document

[Alexander Wolff]

Hi
Nobody know..how to print a existing .pdf file with c#. ( The idea is that
the application prints de .pdf without open it with acrobat reader )

thanks!

Only PostScript commands is understood by the printer,
although PDF is very similar to PostScript a PDF cannot directly
be sent to the printer.
You should use the DDE interface of Acrobat/Reader.
I do not know of any other way.

I'm quite sure the is no easy way inside C#. We made GhostView / gsPrint
print our PDF using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start().

Yes, that is a good idea.
However, GhostView is unfortunately not very common software
as opposed to Acrobat/Reader.
But, in a server environment, GhostView is definitely the approach.

Here is a nice (and free) pdf library that was ported to C# from java that
may help you out some...

itextSharp does not work properly with HTML.

hi,

I use with great success the Siberix PDF library. It's commercial, but
one of the best Libraries I've ever used...

From Siberix' FAQ:

"Is it possible to print PDF documents using the library?
No, you couldn't use Siberix PDF Library to print PDF documents or pages. "
