printing of DOCX from C++

HI,

can you please provide me the sample code to print docx via C++ code or any API which can be used to do this task.

thank you

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no open source API to do this.

You could use the WmlToHtmlConverter module in Open-Xml-PowerTools to convert DOCX to HTML/CSS, and then use some API to print it. I have no experience with using any APIs to print HTML/CSS, but I am certain it is possible. This would have the restrictions of WmlToHtmlConverter, in that it does not display page headers/footers.

Best, Eric

If this helps, I use a copy of LibreOffice to do the printing because I can call it from the command line.

soffice.exe –headless –pt LaserJet1320 “C:\temp\filetoprint.docx”

the headless option runs LibreOffice without the user interface. In LibreOffice 5.3 there is documentation for the C++ API here http://api.libreoffice.org/docs/cpp/ref/index.html

it seems hard to read in my previous post but the syntax is “dash dash headless” (–headless) “dash dash pt” (–pt). Alternatively a dash p (-p) prints the the default printer.

Thank you, will check this option.

I am also in need of this, I really appreciate that I found it here. Thanks and hopefully I can use this stuff for all my business printing needs, which now I have this print at http://www.digitekprinting.com/poster-prints.
