New Post: Programmaticlly print & or save documents

kozw — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:25:40 GMT

I've updated the sample at http://firstfloorsoftware.com/downloads/ModifyXps.zip

Apparently the ZipFile needs to be closed before the update is actually committed to stream. Also the new ZipEntry call is not needed and has been removed.

wa_dev — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:56:07 GMT

I am able to save the xps document via the code in your example, but when I go to load the document, I get a "Cannot find central directory"

I am loading it like so:

Me.DataSource.PackageReader = New FirstFloor.Documents.IO.SharpZipLib.SharpZipPackageReader(fileBytes.ToStream())

Here's is my translation of your code in VB.Net. I changed getting the annotations from the Me.annotations.Save ( annotations store ) method, and am saving the zipStream.ToArray ( built in extension method of memory stream) ... other than that, it's the same as yours. The only thing I noticed in the example is that You declare a new entry, but don't add it to the zip file (or maybe just declaring it adds it? Anyway, let me know if you can see where I'm going wrong.

Private Sub SaveAnnotations()

Dim zipStream As System.IO.MemoryStream = Me.Current_FileBytes.ToStream()
' load the XPS document as ZIP

Using zipFile = New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.ZipFile(zipStream)

Dim entry = New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.ZipEntry("annotations.xml")

Using annotationsStream = New MemoryStream()
Me.annotations.Save(annotationsStream)

annotationsStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
Dim annotationsSource = New StreamDataSource(annotationsStream)

zipFile.BeginUpdate()

zipFile.Add(annotationsSource, "annotations.xml", CompressionMethod.Deflated)

zipFile.CommitUpdate()

Dim AnnotatedDocumentBytes() As Byte = zipStream.ToArray()

Me.FileService.UploadAnnotatedVersionAsync("Annotated_" & item.VersionName, AnnotatedDocumentBytes, item.DocId.ToGuid(), item.VersionId.ToGuid(), Me.ThisUserMeta.CompanyId)

End Using

End Using

End Sub

New Post: PDF Viewer from Lightswitch

The open source PDF engine of Document Toolkit only implements parts of the PDF specification. Correct rendering of PDF documents is not guaranteed, and there is no workaround for this. The PDF engine works best with PDF documents that contain embedded OpenType fonts. The Microsoft Office Save-As-PDF add-in does create such documents.

PDF rendering is not related to Silverlight 4 or 5. The NuGet packages contains versions for both SL4 and 5.

You'll need to read the XPS document itself as zip file. I've created a sample project doing just that. ICSharpZip has a bit of a archaic API, but it works well.

Sample project available at http://firstfloorsoftware.com/downloads/ModifyXps.zip

Hope this helps,

New Post: get current scaling when ScaleMode is FitWidth?

wa_dev — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 02:02:49 GMT

I user this for "FitToWidth" and it works perfectly.

Private Sub SetViewFitToWidth()

Dim newViewMode As New ViewMode()

newViewMode.ScaleMode = ScaleMode.FitWidth

newViewMode.IsDefault = Me.Viewer.ViewMode.IsDefault

Me.Viewer.ViewMode = newViewMode

End Sub

One thing I have noticed is if you build the application with SL 4 and a users has the 5.+ runtime installed, the pdf package reader does not work consistently. But if the runtimes match, the package reader works perfectly (minus a couple extreme cases with odd pdf's).

if the clients runtime folder looks like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\4.1.10111.0

and you built it with SL 4, then your all good.

, but if it looks like : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\5.?+++

then the client must revert to the 4.1.10111.0 runtime by uninstalling, and reinstalling.

But that was just my experience.

Many of my PDF documents do not render, but some do. This is displayed by the viewer when it can't render a document:

Ok. I you can please tell me what I'm doing wrong here, that would be awesome.

Here's is how I am building the zip file with the SharpZipLib. and I have tested that the zip file being made can be opened without error

Using zippedMemoryStream As System.IO.MemoryStream = New System.IO.MemoryStream()
� � � � � � Using ZipOutStream As New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.ZipOutputStream(zippedMemoryStream)
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.SetLevel(9)
� � � � � � � � 'add xps document to zip� � � � � � � � Dim xpsDoc As Byte() = Me.Current_FileBytes
� � � � � � � � Dim docEntry As New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.ZipEntry(item.DocName)
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.PutNextEntry(docEntry)
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.Write(xpsDoc, 0, xpsDoc.Length)

� � � � � � � � 'add annotations to zip� � � � � � � � Dim annoStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream
� � � � � � � � Me.annotations.Save(annoStream)
� � � � � � � � annoStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
� � � � � � � � Dim annoBytes() As Byte = annoStream.ToArray()
� � � � � � � � Dim annoEntry As New ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.ZipEntry("annotations.xml")
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.PutNextEntry(annoEntry)
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.Write(annoBytes, 0, annoBytes.Length)
� � � � � � � � ZipOutStream.Finish()
� � � � � � � � 'get byte() of zip file� � � � � � � � Dim AnnotatedDocumentBytes() As Byte = zippedMemoryStream.ToArray()
� � � � � � � � Me.FileService.UploadAnnotatedVersionAsync("Annotated_" & item.VersionName & ".zip", AnnotatedDocumentBytes, item.DocId.ToGuid(), item.VersionId.ToGuid(), Me.ThisUserMeta.CompanyId)
� � � � � � � � annoStream.Close()� � � � � � � � annoStream.Dispose()
� � � � � � End Using
� � � � End Using

And I'm reading the zip file stream like this:

� Me.DataSource.PackageReader = New FirstFloor.Documents.IO.SharpZipLib.SharpZipPackageReader(fileBytes.ToStream())� � � � � � � � SetViewFitToWidth()

Trying to read the zip file created by the above stated code, cause this error:

Could not read the XPS package. Either the package is not valid XPS or the package reader does not support the ZIP format of the package.

The "annotations.xml" contents look like this (which seem a bit empty if you ask me).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Annotations xmlns="http://schemas.firstfloorsoftware.com/2009/annotations" />

So, I am creating a zip file... adding the document, and adding an xml document of annotations to the zip file.

Then trying to open it via the SharpPackageReader... Please help it letting me know what's wrong with my approach. THank you.

Smashd — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:40:51 GMT

You can just assign the control a whole new IEnumerable of ViewModes in the backend, and that "overrides" the default set. You could probably also modify it to remove specific items.

FYI, if I remember right there's a static method on the ViewMode class called GetDefaultViewModes() that returns the default list. Might not be useful to you but perhaps it will help at some point down the line...

Lol, still not sure what you mean. Do you need to modify the document itself? Document Toolkit is a viewer, it doesn't provide editing functionality (apart from annotating documents)

Hi Koen,

Sorry I didn't make myself fully clear. I don't want to change the visible page.

What I want is to change the legend of the document before printing a word document.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Gr,

Nick

(Thanks for the great support!)

It 's possible fix it?

Hi Hick,

The DocumentViewer control has a PageIndex and PageNumber property that you can set to change the visible page. By default PageIndex = 0 and PageNumber = 1 when a document is initially displayed.

Hi Koen,

Uhm what I mean is:

when the page is open and the Document index (mostly second page) is incorrect to change it.

(Ist the document index stored somewhere?)

I was mistaken, the Silverlight version of the DotNetZip indeed doesn't contain AddEntry methods. I referred to the full .NET version. You may want to try the SharpZipLib, that library seems to have the AddEntry methods.

Can you please just type out the full namespace with your classes? (ie Namespace.Namespace.DotNetZip.ZipFile)

Firstfloor.documunts.IO.DotNetZip does not contain a class name ZipFile ... and that is the namespace that comes down from NuGet

wa_dev — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:38:17 GMT

The instruction in the link are exactly what I have done. After adding these, I have 3 different ZipFile classes to choose from depending on the namespace... all of which don't have parameters as you have shown here. I guess I will just search around in intelli-sense until I find it. Thanks man.
