How to print on paper

Post by Nico »

Hi guys,
I am using a trial of XYplorer (I am still learning but I love it) and I would like to print the content of a PDF with my printer, but I can't find any ways to do this.
I have searched the forum but I still haven't found the answer to my problem.

What should I do?

Open it with you pdf reader and print it from there. XY has no inbuilt print functions for arbitrary files
One of my scripts helped you out? Please donate via Paypal

Thank you highend. That's why I didn't find the answer.. for me it would be much easier to print a PDF without open it, but probably there is no demand for such kind of feature.

SumatraPDF (among others) takes command line arguments, so you could make an OpenWith button entry or something similar to print PDF's without opening them, or via the use of XY scripting make a toolbar button etc.

a quick example script, you can use to customize if you are interested:

Code: Select all

run """<enter the path to>\SumatraPDF.exe"" -print-to ""Microsoft XPS Document Writer"" " . <selitems>;
