I'm trying to do so when you print from Adobe Acrobat/Reader it prints to a specific tray/bin in the printer. I just want to change the LiveCycle Design settings and not the Workbench settings.

Also, I'm sending a PDF that converts to a PCL and then prints.

So this is where I'm right now:

I created a paper type called "A4Tray3", that I can use on my Master pages.

So now I want to mapp "A4Tray3" to a specific tray/bin. I'm looking in the file "hppcl5e.xdc" and I'm trying to figure out where to write some PCL code that prints to the right tray. I have the specifics for the printer and all I need to know is where i write the mapping from the paper type to the tray for my printer.

Is it somewhere here?

The concept of printer trays is not applicable to PDF. That is, you cannot specify a particular printer tray when printing a PDF document. The selection at the printer is based on page size, and the first non-secured tray that matches the required page size is used. If no match to the size is found, a manual feed is requested. (source)

  • Yeah, I saw that. But I forgott to write that my PDF converts to PCL. I think it could work since I can choose a paper type and make it print a specialtype with just a PDF. Or I'm I thinking totally wrong? – Ron Jan 22 '15 at 13:33
  • Sorry, I don't get it. PCL is the standard stream of data accepted by printers. PDF is a converted version of the document and does print directly to your printer. How you convert your PDF to PCL by printing from Acrobat Reader? – ph6 Jan 22 '15 at 14:51
  • I will have to reply later, cause I have to talk to the server / printer guys. They told me that my PDF converts to PCL. And I will try to clearify. – Ron Jan 22 '15 at 15:03
  • We changed direction abit, we still want to do it from the fil and not the server. But now we will use a xdp and it goes throug the server to Another print server and becomes a PCL fil. So will I just try to write in "ESC&l4H" or should I in some fil direct my paper type "A4Tray3" to some tray? – Ron Jan 29 '15 at 07:21
  • Seems like you can't bypass this. Hopefully someone find away. – Ron Jan 30 '15 at 15:03
