Print PDF files

The code below is a C# code snippet that demonstrates how to print a PDF file programmatically using the Aspose.PDF for .NET API. The code first creates a PdfViewer object and binds the input PDF file to it. Then it sets some attributes for printing such as auto-resize, auto-rotate, and disables the page number dialog. Next, it creates objects for printer and page settings and PrintDocument. The printer settings include the printer name and paper size, while the page settings include margins. Finally, the code calls the PrintDocumentWithSettings method of the PdfViewer object to print the document using the specified printer and page settings. After printing, the PDF file is closed using the Close method of the PdfViewer object.

Use following code snippet for this:

    // Create PdfViewer object 
	PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer(); 
 
	// Open input PDF file 
	viewer.BindPdf(System.IO.Path.Combine(_dataDir, "input.pdf")); 
 
	// Set attributes for printing 
	viewer.AutoResize = true;     	// Print the file with adjusted size 
	viewer.AutoRotate = true;     	// Print the file with adjusted rotation 
	viewer.PrintPageDialog = false;   // Do not produce the page number dialog when printing 
 
	// Create objects for printer and page settings and PrintDocument 
	System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings ps = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings(); 
	System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings pgs = new System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings(); 
	System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument prtdoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument(); 
 
	// Set printer name 
	ps.PrinterName = prtdoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName; 
 
	// Set PageSize (if required) 
	pgs.PaperSize = new System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize("A4", 827, 1169); 
 
	// Set PageMargins (if required) 
	pgs.Margins = new System.Drawing.Printing.Margins(0, 0, 0, 0); 
 
	// Print document using printer and page settings 
	viewer.PrintDocumentWithSettings(pgs, ps); 
 
	// Close the PDF file after priting 
	viewer.Close();
