pdfStartPrintJob
Start a print job.
int pdfStartPrintJob(PDFViewerHandle viewer, BOOL showDialog,
int nCopies, char *printer)
If you need to modify parameters for different pages within a print
job, or if you need to combine pages from multiple PDF files into a
single print job, you can use the print job API. It requires a few
additional steps (compared to
pdfPrint3), but is more flexible.
This function starts a print job. The arguments are:
showDialog: If true,pdfPrint3opens the standard print dialog, otherwise it prints to the default printer or to the printer specified in theprinterargument.nCopies: If nCopies is greater than 0, it specifies the number of copies to be printed. Otherwise, the printer's default setting is used.printer: The name of the printer to use, or NULL to use the default printer. IfshowDialogis true, the printer argument is ignored.
pdfStartPrintJob call should be followed by one or
more calls to pdfPrintToJob and finally a call to
pdfFinishPrintJob.
