I want to print my PDF file without opening Print dialog in ASP.NET Web forms.
My requirement is I have some PDF files on my server and I want to print that file on button click but without opening the Print window.
How can I achieve this?
The best you can do is concatenate the PDF files into one file and then print it, showing the printer dialog once at the beginning of the process. .NET PDF libraries that have this functionality.
PdfDocument.Combine("Output.pdf", "doc1.pdf", "doc2.pdf", "doc3.pdf");
Please refer this documentation may help you Print without Dialog
I want to show a pdf page in the picturebox. Is it possible to do that? if not is there any other way out where i can show the pdf page inside the windows form in visual studio?
Thanks
No. A PictureBox can only display a System.Drawing.Image, which a PDF is not.
Instead, you should be searching for a Winforms PDF viewer.
.NET open PDF in winform without external dependencies
You can do that by using Ghostscript.NET (Ghostscript library wrapper for .NET).
Take a look at this blog: How to use Ghostscript.NET library to render PDF's directly to the screen
You can download Ghostscript.NET from here: https://ghostscriptnet.codeplex.com/
I have a webbrowser control in my winforms application to display a selected pdf file, after this i want to move the pdf file to an other location.
When i trie to move the pdf file it is giving me an error that the file is in use. I tried to make the webbrowser navigate to a other page before it is moved but it still give me this error that the file is used by an other process.
How can i release this pdf file so i can just move it? Disposing the webbrowser didn't do the trick.
They say "Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader are designed to continue running for a few minutes after you close the browser window in which you viewed PDF files."
The workaround for this seems to be :
Copy the PDF to a temporary file and display it, and then when you navigate away, it doesn't matter if AcroRD32.exe holds onto the PDF for a few minutes because you can still do what you need with the original!
The following code releases for me the pdf file, which was displayed in WebBrowser, so I can move it:
webBrowser.Navigate("about:blank")

I have had a similiar problem, which was that the form with opened pdf file in browser was hidden and then a new instance of the form was opened, which triggered the same file locked error. For me Disposing of the WebBrowser control just before hiding the form helped.
I'm using C# 2005 as a programming platform. I want to have a program reading pdf file and output the content in picturebox properties. Can anyone help me on how could i do this?
You can't render PDF in a PictureBox. Picture boxes are for displaying pictures. So if you want to render a PDF file inside a picture box you will have to first convert it to, well, a picture. There are some commercial products such as ABC PDF that would allow you to do this conversion.
Another possibility is to use the Adobe Reader ActiveX control which you could host in your WinForms application and directly show the PDF file as is.
There are some opensource libraries out there. Choose one of the below:
sharpPDF: http://sharppdf.sourceforge.net/
PDFjet: http://pdfjet.com/os/edition.html
PDF Clown: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clown/
You can get the content of the PDF file using on of these libraries. About showing it on your form etc., I'd suggest examining the samples of these libraries.
im trying to display the PDF files in the listview thumnail like windows explorer. I have not any idea about this.
How to display the pdf files. plz suggest some idea.
thanks in advance.
You will need to programically create the thumbnail by utalising, for example:
Ghostscript
or the Adobe Acrobat SDK
There are various articles on the web discussing the merits of each.
