How to print a pdf without user interaction (With C#)

My boss assigned me a task that to get the ImagePreview of 1st page of PDF.
My thought is to print the 1st page of PDF to file(virtual print to file), and get the image source, but there comes the problem:
How can print a pdf without user interaction(With C#),question are these:
1. I can use the ShellExcute but cannot assign the destination of output file.
2. User interface is unwanted, I don't want show anyone the Acrobat Reader interface who click the file just want to get a preview.
3. No place to put those parameters in.
This problem confused me a lot of days, I wish someone can give some hints.
Thank you very much!
(Maybe you will tell me to use Acrobat SDK, please don't, I'm afraid we cannot afford that)

This is the first step. There are many documents, but start with the
introductory/getting started material.

A PDX is a search database to allow you to do fast searching in
Acrobat.

>About the relationship between Adobe Reader and Acrobat, as far as I know is that, the previous one is just the reading tool for PDF document, instead, Acrobat can modify and resave the PDF doc. Is it right?
Effectively, yes. But the Acrobat SDK is mainly for working with
Acrobat. It's very important to keep this clear, since you have said
you only have the free Reader, so 95% of what is in the SDK cannot
work for you.

>Simply my questions,
>1. I don't know which dll to refer in the .Net project to print with. Is the ActiveX folder in product folder?
Simply, there is no point asking these questions, yet, because you
have not started on the documentation.
But let's continue in the SDK forum, where I have posed what seems to
be a very important question about why print to file at all.

  • WPF and powershell , how do you run code without user interaction?

    I am using the code below to start a form but when the form opens i would like to start off the code processing without the need for the user to press a button again.
    I would like to have some test-connection been done when the form starts below there is some striped dwon code example.
    The $textbox.text = "Could not connect to remote pc"  show be run when the form is displayed by  $Window.ShowDialog()
    How do i do this, I tryed adding it to the show dialog but that does not take input. Right now afther calling  $Window.ShowDialog() the form pauses and waits for input?
    $reader=(New-Object System.Xml.XmlNodeReader $xaml)
    $Window=[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load( $reader )
    #Connect to Controls
    $button1 = $Window.FindName('button1')
    $textbox = $Window.FindName('textbox1')
     #Events
    $button1.Add_Click({
        $services = Get-Service
        $listbox.ItemsSource = $services

    Hello Martijn,
    For details about how to write this script, I think you'd better consult PowerShell related forum instead of here. We can only share the WPF related scrnario.
    In wpf, you can just add your code from button click event to the following event:
    Window_Loaded event
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.frameworkelement.loaded(v=vs.110).aspx
    In VS its here:
    private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    //AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(myTextBox).Add(new SimpleCircleAdorner(myTextBox));
    Or you could put your code in:
    public MainWindow()
    InitializeComponent();
    //add your code here.
    In this way I think you do not need to add that button event. However we do not know how to write it with PowerShell scripts, this is out of our scope here.

  • How to run eCATT in dialog mode(foreground) without user interaction(Enter)

    Hi,
        As part of performance testing using eCATT we want to execute a test script in dialog mode(foreground) without user interaction like pressing enter at end of each screen. The reason behind this is we want to run a test script 1000 times in dialog mode to analyze the performance of that particular transaction code. Hence its not practical to keep pressing enter at end of each screen. We do not want to execute this in background as that does not simulate the real time transaction processing and give the exact performance analysis.
    We have a test script with VA01 recording and are able to execute it perfectly in background as well as foreground (by pressing enter at end of each screen).
    I would like to know if there are any settings to be made to execute the test script in dialog mode without pressing enter. I have referred the below link which has not solved my purpose.
    ECATT - Running in Foreground (Enter Key)
    Thank You.

    Gopi,
    I never used this transaction before, but my approach would be as below. You may want to try and let me know how it works.
    Before running this script from ST30, first try to run from SECATT for one iteration to make sure the script and target system RFCs are working. Then try again in ST30. Still if you have the issue, ask your basis to take a look when you kick off from ST30 in the target system whether ST30 were able to successfully make the RFC call to that system.
    thanks

  • How to Print a PDF programmatically without the Adobe Reader Window

    Hi,
    I'm trying to print a PDF my application. I would prefer to do it as silent as possible - no PrintDialogue | Adobe Reader Window.
    Language C#
    Adobe Reader 10.0
    Here´s some Code:
    public static void PrintPDF(string file, string printerName)
    Process proc = new Process();
    proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
    proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @" /t /h " + "\"" + file + "\"" + " " + "\"" + printerName + "\"";
    proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
    proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    proc.Start();
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    proc.WaitForInputIdle();
    proc.Kill();
    It works, but the Adobe Reader Window is still popping up -> /h (start the reader minimized) does not work.
    Is there another way to hide the Window ?
    Regards

    Hi,
    I am developing an application, which have to support a PDF print. My result after searching for the best possibilities is this snippet:
    public static void PrintPDF(string path, string printer)
    Process process = new Process();       
    process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
    process.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = "\"" + printerName + "\"";
    process.Start();
    // I have to use this in case of Adobe Reader to close the window
    process.WaitForInputIdle();
    process.Kill();
    This is the most generic solution - it prints a pdf unless no matter wich reader is installed.
    Only deficit - the Adobe Reader window still pops up. Why it does not behave like it´s alternatives (for example Foxit Reader) and print the PDF without popping up ?
    Regards

    how to print a pdf file of compounds A3 and A4 with adobe mac, windows with the option I choose paper source by PDF page size mac but I can not find it. how to get it thank you

    I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

  • How to print a pdf file from Labview

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
    Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.
    {"code 3005" ,,,"Automation Open: Object specified is not creatable in Display PDF in Dialog.vi"}.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,
    Jenia.

    You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
    "<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
    For example"
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

  • How to print a PDF file that was display in my page...

    Hi !. My doubt would be the following one... I would like to know how to print a pdf file that was displayed in my page ?... I mean the PDF file not the page...
    The PDF would be in this url:
    http://iprodesa.lasegunda.com.ar:8090/datos/pdf/830.pdf
    How could I implement this ?...

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    Ps: which jdev version do you use?

  • Any way to Upload a File Automatically without user interaction in BSP.

    Hi,
    Any way to Upload a File Automatically without user interaction in BSP.
    Problem is;
    We have an terminal pc connected to an Production Machine and has a PLC for reading Machine Actual Datas. This terminal has Windows CE.NET OS. There is one program which Appending PLC Data to Text file (STORAGE CARD\PLC\SAMPLE.TXT).
    Users can access to WAS system in this Terminal (Has network).
    I have to access to SAMPLE.TXT file using BSP when user antered a page in WAS.
    Have you got any solution. I have tried so much methods to do this. But i have not found any solution.

    Yes SAMPLE.txt stored in "STORAGE CARD\PLC" folder in terminal.
    But i am trying in my computer to test with "C:
    GPS.txt"
    I have tried before this method. But I think this is a security exception. Because when i use
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!--
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    extName = fso.GetExtensionName("C:\GPS.txt");
    alert(extName)
    -->
    </SCRIPT>
    i am getting an alert with message "txt". there is no problem.
    But when i try to access file using this code
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!--
    var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    fileObj = fso.GetFile("C:\GPS.txt");
    -->
    </SCRIPT>
    i am getting "Automation server can't create object".

    LV doesn't have any sort of Startup folder as we are a little concerned
    about the security issues this brings about. You can specify VIs on the
    command line for LV to open. And VIs can be set to run when opened.
    Combining these features, you wind up using the system's Startup folder,
    placing either a batch file or a shortcut to LV with the command line
    options added to list out the VIs, and finally, set the VI properties
    so
    that the VIs run when opened.

  • How to "Print to PDF" with property "Signing: Allowed"

    Print to PDF generates a file with the security document property "Signing: Not Allowed". These Properties are only visible in Acrobar reader -> File -> Properties; you can't see these in Preview.
    Is there a way to change Mac OS X Print to PDF, that it generats PDFs with "Signing Allowed"?

    Thomac:
    After further review I discovered that it isn't the PDFs you are creating that has the problem, it is the limitations of Adobe Acrobat Reader to perform the ability to do the functions of Document Assembly, Commenting, Signing and Create Templates. If you had Acrobat Professional and opened your PDFs and checked the properties, you would discover that all these would be allowed.
    Initially, I was looking at my test files with Acrobat Professional. But, when I opened the same PDF with Reader on a different machine, I was getting the same summary as well.
    Adobe Reader is just that: a READER.
    You can feel safe that your PDFs allow signing.
