VB PowerPacks includes Printing.PrintForm which allows a form to be directed to a printer. Printer settings can be defined programmatically. (Landscape/Portrait, Margins)
Can I define the PDF filename and folder programmatically as well?
Can I monitor printing progress? Specifically I need to know that printing has been completed before moving on to processing another form.
The name and directory of the file are determined from the name of the print job. Therefore, you can set the job name to a full file path name to tell the PDF printer the name and folder of the file. PDF24 then extracts it and makes it available in the placeholders.
Print jobs can be monitored in windows. The Windows API gives you access to the printer task queue and and you can read the jobs and the state.
