PDFPrintManager Class

The print class is used to register a print contract and set the standard print options. All of the callbacks are implemented internally for ease of development. It uses the efficent vector-based XPS print path when available. Note: Printing in Windows Store Apps is typically invoked using the Charms Bar. If you wish to implement a button that opens the print bar, call

Copy

await Windows.Graphics.Printing.PrintManager.ShowPrintUIAsync();

The PDFPrintManager type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddStandardPrintOption	Used to add standard print options (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.graphics.printing.standardprinttaskoptions.ASPx) that appear in the print window.
	AddUserOptionAnnotations	Adds an option that allows the user to select if annotations and comments are printed.
	AddUserOptionAutoRotate	Adds an option that allows the user to select if pages are automatically rotated to best fit the output pages
	AddUserOptionBorder	Adds an option that allows the user to select if a page is printed with a thin border.
	AddUserOptionNUp	Adds an option that allows the user to select if pages are printed per sheet. Use of this option is mutally exlusive with using the standard print option Windows.Graphics.Printing.StandardPrintTaskOptions.NUp, where this option may be preferred because it allows PDFNet to offer an accurate print preview, as well as offer the option for every printer and not just those who's drivers support NUp.
	AddUserOptionPageRange	Adds an option that allows the user to select a subset of the document to print.
	AddUserOptionScaleType	Adds an option that allows the user to select how the content is scaled to fit the page.
	CancelPrinting	Cancels printing if called before the document is sent to the print spooler. This method can cancel the method PrintIPrintDocumentPackageTarget.
	ClearPrintOptions	Removes all of the options added via AddStandardPrintOption and AddPageRangeOption.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetInstance	Gets the PDFPrintManager
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	RegisterForPrintingContract	Registers the current print contract for the current view and provides the document to be printed. This method should be called every time a new document is displayed so that the name can be updated. The name will appear in the system print job window, as well as be used for the file name by virtual printer drivers. You do not need to call Copy UnRegisterForPrintingContract() when re-registering.
	SetAnnotations	Programmatically set if annotations are printed
	SetAutoRotate	Programmatically set if content should be automatically rotated to best fit the printed page.
	SetBorder	Programmatically set if pages should have a thin outline.
	SetNUp	Programmatically set how many pages to print per sheet, in rows and columns.
	SetResourceLoader	Set a resource loader to change the names for the option strings used in the print bar. This can be used to add new languages. Please see the PDFVewCtrlDemo's file Resources.resw for a list of keys and English values. If no ResourceLoader is provided, the print bar will use keys as values.
	SetScaleType	Programmatically set the scale type.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	UnRegisterForPrintingContract	Unregisters the print contract. Explicitly calling this method should not normally be necessary as it will be automatically called by RegisterForPrintingContract when needed as well as the destructor.
