I have the following issue when trying to draw a string and then printing it to PDF by Amyuni Printer :
where I couldn't select the text when pressing (Ctrl+A) , I need this PDF file to use it into another PDF reader , and it seems that the reader , tries to read the selected area not the actual text area .
I'm using the following code to do this stuff :
Font printFont = new Font("Simplified Arabic Fixed", (float)11, FontStyle.Regular);
StreamReader Printfile;
using (StreamReader Printfile = new StreamReader(@"C:\20_2.txt", Encoding.Default))
{
try
{
PrintDocument docToPrint = new PrintDocument();
PaperSize ps = new PaperSize("A4", 827, 1169);
bool bolFirstPage = true;
docToPrint.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ps;
docToPrint.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
docToPrint.DocumentName = "docName" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString(); //Name that appears in the printer queue
string FirstLine = Printfile.ReadLine();
bool bIsArabic = true;
docToPrint.PrintPage += (s, ev) =>
{
float nFontHight = printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics);
bIsArabic = true;
float linesPerPage = 0;
float yPos = 0;
int count = 0;
float leftMargin = 1008;
float topMargin = 120;
string line = null;
//Calculate the number of lines per page.
linesPerPage = ev.MarginBounds.Height / printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics) + 2;
Image img = Image.FromFile(@"C:\image.bmp");
ev.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 6, 1, 1095, 728);
//***Image Reslution is Working good -->***
StringFormat format = new StringFormat()/*arabic*/;
line = Printfile.ReadLine();
format = new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.DisplayFormatControl | StringFormatFlags.DirectionRightToLeft)/*arabic*/;
do
{
yPos = topMargin + ((count) * printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics) * (float)0.91);
line = " تجربة تجربة تجربة تجربة تجربة";
ev.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.DeepPink, leftMargin, yPos, format);
count++;
} while ((line = Printfile.ReadLine()) != null && !line.Contains(''));// lines contains \0 as UniCode
// If more lines exist, print another page.
if (line != null)
ev.HasMorePages = true;
else
ev.HasMorePages = false;
};
docToPrint.Print();
}
catch (System.Exception f)
{
MessageBox.Show(f.Message);
}
}
}
when I'm using another font type like "Arial" I can select near to 90% of the text, but unfortunately I have to use only the font type "Simplified Arabic Fixed" , and I'm using windows server 2003.
one more thing , when i try to print directly Arabic text from notepad it's work fine.
