Hi tinzu,

is there any reason you specifically want to use the command line? This article explains how to export using the GUI: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/knowled ... nge-driver

Importing is the same idea but using the "Import" button and browsing to the ppr file...

Hi Paul

sry for my english at first.

My main Problem is that i have to write a programm (VBA Access) to controll some steps in a buisnessprocess.

We will change to Windows 7 64 and will use the PDF Xchange Pro 4.0 to manage oure PDF's in future.

So i have to set this Printer as Default-Printer after that i have to set some Options to ensure that my Output (Plot's from VISUM) will be as we wish.

Now if i use the Code in Attached-File i can Print any File as i wish start the PrintProc with ShellExecute.

But if i use the Print command myvisum.Graphic.Plot the Plot is wrong. PaperSize is not A1 and Orientation is not Quer. Name and Path is correct. If i debug the Programm and stop after change the settings and look the Options from the Printer i cant see my changes they still default and i saw in form how to change profiles.

Maybe thats not may way but i dont know how to solve it.

If you have a tipp for me how to solve it i would be happe.

Please try to use

Code: Select all

PDFPrinter.ApplyOptions(0)
when all options are set.

Also, in common case, to set paper size and orientation you have to change it via Windows API. To do this you can try to set the following options

Code: Select all

PDFPrinter.Option("DevMode.PapSize") = 256 ' custom paper size
PDFPrinter.Option("DevMode.CWidth") = 5940 ' tenth of mm should be used
PDFPrinter.Option("DevMode.CHeight") = 8410
PDFPrinter.Option("DevMode.Orientation") = 2 ' 1 - portrait; 2 - landscape
But it may not work.
