Print dialog property

[TatianaS]

hello,
I am trying to get 'Print Sheets' property (which is located under preview area) in the printing dialog, but can not see it in API.
Could you please help.

Thanks,
-Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

I can't find in the specification whether this property is accessible via the SDK code, but why do you need that? You should be able to achieve all you need by just limiting the number of pages to be printed even if you are printing multiple pages per sheet.

My printing process is unfortunately not very straight forward. I need to add pages (back pages) to the document without showing them to the user in the print preview window, which mean that I need to call print twice. Therefore, I get and set all the print dialog setting from the first print dialog programmatically to the second print job and then I print without a dialog.
I can get everything through the API, but not the 'Print Sheets', so if I have multiple pages per sheet selected and specify a sheet number in the 'Print Sheets', I need to know which sheet numbers where selected for printing.
I will appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Tatiana

Hi Tatiana.

Sorry but no way to change programmatically the 'Print Sheets' property. It is end-user's feature only...

Best
Regards.
