Hello Björn,

I have created a project where a PDF file is printed when a button is pressed, but I want the program to ask me how many pages I want to print immediately after pressing it.
Is it possible somehow?

Hi Gori,

how is the printing done - using the PDFPRINTER component, or do you have some own printing mechanism?

Regards, Björn

yes, using the PDFPRINTER component.

Hmm,

isn't there a print dialog coming up, in which you select printer, number of pages, etc. ?

Regards, Björn

sorry sorry sorry..
i use a own print mechanism

...no problem! ;-)

Then you may just show some own CC-popup allowing to input the pages before sending the PDF to the printing function.

With own CC-popup I mean:

1. create a dialog with page bean
2. open this dialog from the dialog that you want to start the printing from. Use inherited function: openModalPopup(IPageBean bean, titel, width, height, ...) to start it, and do the invoking of the printing through the popup.

Is this the response that helps you...?

Regards, Björn
