PrintDocument!

Hi

Is it possible to save the PrintDocument as file without using a printer?

Is it possible to save the PrintDocument as file without using a printer?

Look at:
Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile
I have no experience with PrintToFile, but it looks promising.

Hi

This is only a bool property? I have to print using a printer anyway but I
need some way to print from PrintDocument without using a printer. I have my
document in the PrintDocument Canvas and I have to access it somehow? Any
ideas.

Yes, use PrintDialog1.AllowPrintToFile = True instead of
PrintDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = True

Then when the user checks the Print to File box in the Printer Dialog he
will get the option to print to a file.
