Return Value

true if the method has been followed successfully, otherwise false. Please use the GdPicturePDF.PrintGetStat method to determine the reason for the printing failure.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method or the GdPicturePDF.PrintGetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

You also need to be aware that annotations and form fields included in the document are rendered by default using this method when printing.

Just to inform you, that sometimes pages in the PDF document may have defined their internal rotation, which causes them to be unexpectedly rotated when printing. Then you need to use the GdPicturePDF.NormalizePage method for each such page to remove that rotation. You can also use the GdPicturePDF.GetPageRotation method to find out if the page should be rotated when printed.
