Greetings everyone, I would like to ask some help about enabling choose paper source by pdf page size. I developed an application using C# language to print pdf file using acrobat pdf reader. Is there any way to automatically put check mark on choose paper source by pdf page size automatically before it starts printing? Please help.

    Hi  Teodulfor97529812,

    As explained above, I assume that you are referring to the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC? If you are using Reader DC then you can set the printing settings accordingly.

    When you give the "Print" command to the document, then you may check the option highlighted in below image-

    Hope this is what you were looking for.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    Thank you so much for your response, its highly appreciated. Whats happening is, i developed a vb.net application to print pdf files using adobe acrobat reader dc. However, if we forgot to put a check mark on what you are highlighting, we got unexpected print out. So what we did we make sure first to put a check mark first before printing. Is there a way that we can put a check mark automatically on Choose paper source by PDF page size from our vb.net application? Or any dll files that we can use to control this feature. Below provided is a vb.net code to print with adobe acrobat reader dc.

               

                Dim pathToExecutable As String = "AcroRd32.exe"

                Dim sReport = "C:\ProgramData\Docs\PDFprints\docs.pdf" 'Complete name/path of PDF file

                Dim SPrinter = Trim(SQL.dtTable.Rows(0).Item(0)) 'Name Of printer

                Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo(pathToExecutable, "/t """ + sReport + """ """ + SPrinter + """")

                Dim Process As New Process()

                Process.StartInfo = starter

                Process.Start()                  

                Process.Kill()

                Process.Close()

    This code means, even if Choose paper source by pdf page size is not enabled it will still send a print request.

    Thank you so much.

    Thanks for sharing the detailed description.

    Unfortunately, so far there isn't any default setting that would keep the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" automatically selected.

    If there would be any changes, will keep you updated.
