PercentagePageScaling

Hi,

I try to use the PercentagePageScaling when I print a PDF-label to a label printer.
I start with creating the PDF-label to disc, open it in my PDF Viewer PDF-XChange and print the PDF-label on my label printer with Custom Zoom 50% and the PDF-label prints ok.
I then try to print the same PDF-label with DynamicPDF PrintManager 2.0.2 and use the PercentagePageScaling class, but then the printed PDF-label is all black.
I have tried to print to Zebra TPL 3844-Z and to Brother PT-9800PCN. I also tried to print a document to SHARP MX-3110N PCL6 with PCL and postscript driver. I just get a blank paper from the printer.
I also tried printing with PDF-XChange printer with no luck. When I look at the file printed by PDF-XChange it's almost empty just some metadata.

I use DynamicPDF v8.0.0 creating the PDF.

Dim myPrintJob As PrintJob = New PrintJob(MyPrinter, "C:\\MyPDF.pdf")
Dim MyPercentagePageScaling As PercentagePageScaling = New PercentagePageScaling(50.0F)
myPrintJob.PrintOptions.Scaling = MyPercentagePageScaling
myPrintJob.Print()

Any ideas what's wrong?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

Please set the scaling factor value as 0.5F and apply it to the PrintJob to achieve the 50% scaling. This will work for you. Below is the code sample for it.

' Create a PercentagePageScaling object by setting 0.5 as scaling factor to achieve 50% page scaling.
Dim MyPercentagePageScaling As PercentagePageScaling = New PercentagePageScaling(0.5F)

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. It works great now.

You need to update the .Net Help Library documentation about this, because it says 10.0F for 10%

' Create a PercentagePageScaling object set to 10%
        Dim MyPercentagePageScaling As PercentagePageScaling = New PercentagePageScaling(10.0F)

Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
