Can anyone please fill in sample code of how to "silently" print a specific page of an open PDF in VB6, to a "real" printer?

I do not want the printer dialog to show, nor any other "needed user actions" or the PDF redirect to pop up.


Private Function print_specific_PDF_pages(ByVal PDF_file As String, ByVal page_number_to_print As Long)

Dim oPDF As New PDFR_PRO_Batch_RC.PDF_reDirect_Pro_Tool
Dim rtn As Long

With oPDF
   rtn = .Utility_Open_PDF(PDF_file, "")
   If rtn Then
       ' print specified page_number_to_print




      
   Else
      MsgBox "Could not open PDF document: " & PDF_file
   End If
   rtn = .Utility_Close_PDF(PDF_file)
End With
End Function


Thank you!

Hi,

    Well, I have done some research. The function that you are asking for is not available today, but I see that I have written code that I could modify to print silently. I would need to do that modification, and update the ActiveX component.

    Do you have an immediate need for this feature? I am asking because I am currently working on a different project for a customer, but I could look at your request in about 1 month's time.

I definitely would appreciate a solution in a few days, if at all possible?

In fact I somehow thought that option already was available, and went ahead and bought the pro version, as I read that it was controlable from VB.
 My mistake

I have searched quite sometime to find this function. Doing so, I found that there are quite a few requests for this function (try Google this yourself). Sure, solutions are out there, but for 10 or more times the price of PDF redirect.

Well, its' your time and decision. Thank you in advance!

Refund: No thanks:
1) I could have read more of your information. 
2) I would rather wait and get the feature.

Let me know if you want me to do som beta-testing, when you are ready.

Good news! 

I completed your request. It's available [here] as v2.2.5 of the component.

I also included sample code and a VB6 project to show you how to print silently, or with a printer dialog box. You can even select multiple PDF files, and print them all in one step (see pic below).


Cheers!

Had a few days off - no time to test it.
I have now.
Works exactly as I hoped for!

Super utility. Super service. Super deal.
