Print page one 4 times, other 2 times

[Heiko]

Hi!

 My customer has some strange requirement. From the ReportViewer (WPF) window he wants to click a button, then page one gets printed 4 times and all other pages from page two onwards should be printed 2 times. How can I achieve this with Telerik reporting?

Regards

Heiko

Hello Heiko,

I can suggest you the following approaches:

1. Use the ReportProcesor.PrintReport method which will use the provided PrinterSettings on sending the report document to the printer;
2. Use the ReportProcessor.RenderReport and export in PDF with additional device settings pointing which page to be rendered only (StartPage, EndPage). then the end-user can preview the PDF files and decide whether to print them. You can even inject Adobe Javascript (deviceInfo["JavaScript"] = "this.print({bUI: true, bSilent: false, bShrinkToFit: true});";) forcing the PDF reader to pop its Print dialog on previewing the exported reports.

To obtain the number of pages, you can use the WPF ReportViewer's API.


I hope this information is helpful.
