I'm confused over the options for the General.PageLayout property in the Print Driver API. The documentation gives these options:
0 (Default)
1 (ShowNone)
2 (Bookmarks)
3 (Thumbnails)
4 (FullScreen)
These do affect the Document Properties > Initial View > Page Layout option (visible in the PDX-XChange Editor), but the options there are:
Default
Single Page
Continuous
Two Pages, Continuous
Two Pages, Continuous with Cover Page
Two Pages
Two Pages with Cover Page
Is this just a documentation glitch? If so, can you provide the numeric and/or symbolic equivalents for the correct options?
Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,
Thanks for the feedback - the documentation did indeed need to be updated and has been updated to display the correct values, which are as follows:
PageLayout:
0 (Default)
1 (SinglePage)
2 (OneColumn)
3 (TwoColumnLeft)
4 (TwoColumnRight)
5 (TwoPagesLeft)
6 (TwoPagesRight)
PageMode:
0 (Default)
1 (ShowNone)
2 (Bookmarks)
3 (Thumbnails)
4 (Layers)
5 (Attachments)
6 (FullScreen)
FullScreenMode:
0 (Default)
1 (ShowNone)
2 (Bookmarks)
3 (Thumbnails)
4 (OptionalContent)
The other available properties are unchanged from the previous documentation.
Kind regards,
