I'm trying to print a PDF with Python, without opening the PDF viewer application (Adobe, Foxit etc.). I need also to know when printing has finished (to delete the file).

Here I found this implementation:

import win32ui, dde, os.path, time

from win32api import FindExecutable

from os import spawnl, P_NOWAIT

...

pd = "C:\\temp\\test.pdf"

pdbits = os.path.split(pd)

readerexe = FindExecutable(pdbits[1],pdbits[0])

spawnl(P_NOWAIT,readerexe[1],"DUMMY") #I added "DUMMY" to avoid a weird error

time.sleep(2)

s = dde.CreateServer()

s.Create('')

c = dde.CreateConversation(s)

c.ConnectTo('acroview', 'control')

c.Exec('[FilePrintSilent("%s")]' % (pd,))

s.Destroy()

But it throws this exception at the ConnectTo line:

dde.error: ConnectTo failed

Someone knows how to solve it? Or has a different solution for silent printing? Or at list can give a link to a reference for ConnectTo? Could find nothing on the web about it.

Working with: Python 2.7, Windows 7, Acrobat Reader 10.0

解决方案

I suggest you install GSView and GSPrint and shell out to gsprint.exe to print the pdf.

p = subprocess.Popen([r"p:\ath\to\gsprint.exe", "test.pdf"],

stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

stdout, stderr = p.communicate()

print stdout

print stderr

I have used this in a industrial label printing solution, works great.

When the gsprint.exe program exits (i.e. after the call to communicate), you can delete the pdf file.

我正在尝试使用Python打印PDF，而无需打开PDF查看器应用程序(Adobe，Foxit等)。 我还需要知道何时打印完成(删除文件)。

在这里我find了这个实现 ：

import win32ui, dde, os.path, time from win32api import FindExecutable from os import spawnl, P_NOWAIT ... pd = "C:\\temp\\test.pdf" pdbits = os.path.split(pd) readerexe = FindExecutable(pdbits[1],pdbits[0]) spawnl(P_NOWAIT,readerexe[1],"DUMMY") #I added "DUMMY" to avoid a weird error time.sleep(2) s = dde.CreateServer() s.Create('') c = dde.CreateConversation(s) c.ConnectTo('acroview', 'control') c.Exec('[FilePrintSilent("%s")]' % (pd,)) s.Destroy()

但是它在ConnectTo行引发这个exception：

dde.error: ConnectTo failed

有人知道如何解决它？ 或者有一个不同的静音打印解决scheme ？ 或者在列表中可以给出ConnectTo的参考链接？ 在网上找不到关于它的东西。

我建议你安装GSView和GSPrint和shell到gsprint.exe来打印pdf。

p = subprocess.Popen([r"p:\ath\to\gsprint.exe", "test.pdf"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) stdout, stderr = p.communicate() print stdout print stderr

我已经在一个工业标签打印解决方案中使用这个，效果很好。

当gsprint.exe程序退出(即在communicate )，您可以删除PDF文件。
