Print a PDF on Windows CE (embedded system)

[Support]

Q:

 

I would like to use PDFNet Mobile SDK for Windows CE to print PDF to a given printer.

 

I figured out how to convert PDF to JPEG on WinCE (using pdftron.PDF.PDFDraw) however I am not sure how to print.

Any ideas?

A:

I believe that the following links/resources will be of help regarding printing a Bitmap in WinCE:

Having said this, I noticed that there may be a simpler way to print PDF on WinCE ...  using pdftron.PDF.PDFDraw.DrawInRect(HDC)

 

 

PDFDraw pdfdraw;

pdfdraw.SetDPI(96);

pdfdraw.SetPrintMode(true);

 

for (int = 1; i<num; ++i) {

    ::StartPage(hDC);

 

  PDF::Rect r;

  r.x1 = 0, r.y1 = 0;

  double conv_x2pts = 72.0/::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSX);

  double conv_y2pts = 72.0/::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY);

 

   // HORZRES is in pixels, divide by pixels / inch and multiply by points / inch to get points printable area across and down.

   r.x2 = ::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, HORZRES) * conv_x2pts;

   r.y2 = ::GetDeviceCaps(hDC, VERTRES) * conv_y2pts;

               

   PDF::Rect r2(r);

   pdfdraw.DrawInRect(doc.GetPage(i), hDC, r);

}

 

...

Where hDC is a printer device context
