If you are thinking about "Print to PDF" option, unfortunately it will not work for you.

Dears,

a new 1.0.0 version is available for all of you. It provides a lot new fucntionalities to control your printer, but also simplifes existing ones, like core (print) activity, and adds a lot of new configuration options. Feel free to try, comment and ask questions if you have any!

Kind regards,

Hi Rahul,

I just checked it and it is visible in package manager.

Please, in your studio, open 'Manage Packages', ensure that in 'Settings' you have 'Connect' feed checked (https://gallery.uipath.com/api/v2). Version 0.6.0 is available there. If it is ok in your studio, but still failing on production machine, please download package from this site and upload to your Orchestrator manually.

You can also download package from this site. Click link: Version: 0.5.0 (View History), this is on the left on this site. And next to version number 0.6.0 you have 'Direct Download' link. You can upload it to your Orchestrator or put locally on production drive.

Hi, I am trying to use the Print PDF activity. It's not working for me. printers.I am able to get the default printer but print pdf is not working and also there is no exception shown. please suggest it really helpful

Pawel Wesolowski

Hi,

could please provide more details? Totally nothing happens? If not exception thrown, issue is probably with application which handles PDF printing.

1. You need adobe reader or any other software for printing PDFs installed and set as default program for .pdf extensions,

2. Please ensure that Adobe Reader (or other program you use) is CLOSED before printing,

3. When Print activity executed, default program for .pdf should open for a while (about 3s) and next should close,

4. Print job should appear in your job queue.

ps. new, better version is coming

Hi Pawel,

Do you happened to know whether this can print into Mobile Printer? Or is it just a matter connecting the Mobile Printer into PC and the Mobile Printer will showed up in the printer lists?

Thanks.

Pawel Wesolowski

Hi Michael,

I am sorry, but really hard to say for me. No experience with mobile printers.

If Printer will be visible in system printer lists, it should work for you.

Hi Pawel, 

As per company policy we can't install Adobe, as we got below software for pdf edit and read  Foxit PhantomPDF(Version:  10.0.0.35798)/ Foxit Reader(Version:  10.0.0.35798).

I have used the package for printing the pdf  it completely freezes the system incuding UIpath studio. 

- Is it possible to extend the feature for Foxit PhantomPDF.

Pawel Wesolowski

Dear Manish,

I just performed a test and for me 'Print PDF' activity works also with Foxit PhantomPDF 10.1.0.37527 (Business).

It has to be set in your system settings as default application for .pdf printing.

Soon new version of package will be released, with updates also in Print PDF activity, so I hope it will be working for you.

Hi, I have tried a few times to download, but it keeps coming doan as 0 size...

This is question to UiPath staff why it is not working. 

Alternatively, you can download it from my Bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/p0tfur/uipath_printer_activities/src/master/ (0.6.0)

Or using UiPath package manager, in options add feed 'Go!'.

Hello, do you know how to print in black and white using print PDF?

Even after changing the settings of Adobe Acrobat, when I run UiPath, it reverts to color printing and cannot perform monochrome printing.

Pawel Wesolowski

Only way is to set your printer for black/white in properties.
