Printing PDF save for large printer - java
Hello, may I ask for some help?
I am having a problem using pdfbox to print PDFs stored for a large
printer onto letter size
When I print it the same way I print normal PDFs it prints just the upper
left edge of the PDF image covering the entire 8X11 page.
On the next page there is a message PCL XL error Warning: illegalMedia
Size.
Java code
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(s_pathAndFileName));
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
pras.add(Sides.DUPLEX);
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document));
job.setPrintService(myPrintService);
job.print(pras);
I tried using scaling and the image prints portrait(should be landscape)
and the entire image prints in the middle of page making it to small to
read. Two and four inch boarders of white space.
I tried scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT and scaling.SHRINK_TO_FIT. Also attributes
pras.add(MediaSizeName.NA_LETTER) or pras.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4). None
had a positive effect.
Java code
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(s_pathAndFileName));
PDFPrintable printable = new PDFPrintable(document, Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT,
Orient);
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document);
job.setPrintService(myPrintService);
job.setPrintable(printable);
This apprently has to do with how the PDF was saved after it was set to
print on a very large printer for engineering drawing specs.
Is there a solution that I have not gleaned from your web-sites?
Thank you for any help.

Btw this is the developers mailing list, in the future (next question if
there is one) please post to the users mailing list. Did you get this
mailing list from a place where there was no link to the users mailing
list and if yes, where?

Try this one from Printing.java:
private static void printWithPaper(PDDocument document)
throws IOException, PrinterException
{
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document));
// define custom paper
Paper paper = new Paper();
paper.setSize(306, 396); // 1/72 inch
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, paper.getWidth(),
paper.getHeight()); // no margins
// custom page format
PageFormat pageFormat = new PageFormat();
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// override the page format
Book book = new Book();
// append all pages
book.append(new PDFPrintable(document), pageFormat,
document.getNumberOfPages());
job.setPageable(book);
job.print();
}
