Print Multiple Formats With A Single VCL Component

To begin learning how to use the document printer component, try these steps:

1. Start your Delphi IDE.
2. Create a new VCL Forms project.
3. Drop the following components on the form.
   • TgtDocumentPrinter
   • TButton
   • OpenDialog

4. Double-click the button to add the following event handler to the button's click event.

   begin
   if OpenDialog1.Execute then begin
     try
       gtDocumentPrinter1.PrintManager.PrinterIndex := 0;
       gtDocumentPrinter1.AutoRotate := true;
       gtDocumentPrinter1.PrintManager.Title := OpenDialog1.FileName;
       gtDocumentPrinter1.PageScaling := psOriginal;
       gtDocumentPrinter1.PrintDocument(OpenDialog1.FileName);
     except on Err:Exception do
       ShowMessage(Err.Message);
     end;
   end;
   

5. Compile and run the project.
6. Click the button on the form to select a document or image for printing. If the first printer is a "soft printer", then its driver will prompt for you to enter a file name for saving the print output.
