Custom Paper.SheetSizeIndex does not work. SOLVED

[shahchandra]

I want to set different page size during the print but all the page is printed on A4 size.

Attached you can find the demo project. I have used the below code to set page size,

Code: Select all

PDFPrinter.ResetDefaults();

// setting other general and save options which works :)
 
PDFPrinter.set_Option("Paper.LayoutType", "Normal");
PDFPrinter.set_Option("Paper.SheetSizeIndex", -2); 
PDFPrinter.set_Option("Paper.SheetWidth", 450);
PDFPrinter.set_Option("Paper.SheetHeight", 250);
// other options which works
// ...
PDFPrinter.ApplyOptions(0);

I am using the PDF-XChange version10.3.1.387.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Any words on this yet, some status(looking into, working on) would be really helpful as we are hanging on the changes from the PDF X-Change.

Thanks.

Hi shahchandra,

I've given them a nudge on this.

Sorry for the huge delay.

Please use Paper.StdSheetWidth and Paper.StdSheetHeight instead of Paper.SheetWidth and Paper.SheetHeight.

But also, please consider using Paper.CWidth, Paper.CHeight, and/or Paper.Size.

In a nutshell, dimensions specified by Paper.Size, Paper.CWidth, and Paper.CHeight is what your application "sees" when it communicates with the printer. And the Paper.SheetSizeIndex, Paper.StdSheetWidth, Paper.StdSheetHeight (and other parameters) defines what PDF page size (and layout on it) will be generated.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer, the custom size works perfectly with the StdSheetWidth and StdSheetHeight property.

Do we have any new documentation for the properties you have mentioned like Paper.CWidth, Paper.CHeight?

According to the documentation provided in the https://help.pdf-xchange.com/pdfxdapi7/PDFXDAPI_MAN.pdf, the index column can used in the Paper.SheetSizeIndex, but that results are not as intended.

If we use the Paper.SheetSizeIndex = 13, according to the documentation the A3 type paper should be the result but the result is the B5 (JIS) paper. It is taking the standard index column value and for undefined its taking the A4 size.

Can you clarify this and also the Paper.Size, should this also use the same table & index as in the image below.

Here is the updated table:

The help site will have the updated table soon.
For Paper.Size and for Paper.SheetSizeIndex values from the second column "Standard Index" should be used.
