Hi am printing pdf file with following code,But it does not print pdf in poper format.. it prints in stream ...

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{



streamToPrint = new StreamReader
("C:\\MyFile.doc");


try
{
printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler
(this.pd_PrintPage);


pd.Print();



}
finally
{
streamToPrint.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}


}
private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
{
float linesPerPage = 0;
float yPos = 0;
int count = 0;
float leftMargin = ev.MarginBounds.Left;
float topMargin = ev.MarginBounds.Top;
string line = null;


// Calculate the number of lines per page.
linesPerPage = ev.MarginBounds.Height /
printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics);


// Print each line of the file.
while (count < linesPerPage &&
((line = streamToPrint.ReadLine()) != null))
{
yPos = topMargin + (count *
printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics));
ev.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.Black,
leftMargin, yPos, new StringFormat());
count++;
}


// If more lines exist, print another page.
if (line != null)
ev.HasMorePages = true;
else
ev.HasMorePages = false;
}

here is my code

plz tell me how i can use threads here

Process proc = new Process();

proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
proc.StartInfo.Verb = "print";

string pdfFileName = "sampletemplate.pdf";

proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"/p /h C:\sample1.pdf";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

proc.Start();
proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
if (proc.HasExited == false)
{
proc.WaitForExit(10000);
//proc.Kill();
}

proc.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
// AcroRd32.exe
proc.CloseMainWindow();
proc.Close();

i am not familiar with threading so can u help me ..
how 2 work with it..

u mean to say like this??
if (!proc.HasExited)
{
proc.Refresh();
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}

proc.WaitForExit(10000);
if we do not use waitforexit and print some big pdf it will give error, as it takes some time and process will be exited

Thanks for quick reply

plz see below code that i am using to print

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing.Printing;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
Process proc = new Process();

proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
proc.StartInfo.Verb = "print";

string pdfFileName = "sampletemplate.pdf";

proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = @"/p /h C:\sample1.pdf";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

proc.Start();
proc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
if (proc.HasExited == false)
{
proc.WaitForExit(10000);
//proc.Kill();
}

proc.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
// AcroRd32.exe
proc.CloseMainWindow();
proc.Close();

plz explain ur point...

:)

can anyone help me to print pdf files in c#
If we use process we have to wait for some minutes.so is there any way print it directly without thread.sleep and waitforexit
