My program takes a word doc and manipulates it with the Codeplex DocX open

  • 0

My program takes a word doc and manipulates it with the Codeplex DocX open source app. That works great.

Now I need to print it. I’ve looked for a few hours and I haven’t found a good way to print the PDF version of the file. I even tried to use AcroRd32.exe and it’s just plain clunky and not really usable for a serious application.

I do have it printing with the Word.Interop but that is tying me down to a specific version of Word, more specifically, the version I have on my machine. That makes the lower versions that our customers use not work and the devs cannot compile if they aren’t on 2010.

I need a way to print either a pdf or a word doc (2003 or greater) seamlessly without being prompted with each document like Acrobat Reader is doing.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I’ve used the following library for printing PDFs in past projects:

    They have a free and professional (commercial) version. It’s a great library and well worth the minor expense.
