Inventor VB.net Print to PDF where OpenVisible = False

Hey all

 

I have been having a few issues getting the printing options that I am after. I have tried the TranslatorAddIn route which will print with the OpenVisible = false but not in the sheet size that is required. When I went down the DrawingPrintManager route I was able to get the size required but this required (from my testing and understanding) that each drawing be active or have the option OpenVisible = True.

 

My question is, is it possible to print using the DrawingPrintManager where I have opened the drawing using Documents.Open("SomeFilename.dwg", False) or is there some other way that this could be done?

I ran into the same thing.  I couldn't find a way to use PrintManager on a drawing opened not visible.  I also couldn't find a way to print with the add-in in anything other than original sheet size.  I opted to go with the PrintManager option.  Since I was working through a batch of files, I went ahead and disabled the MRU list while printing.

Yeah, I've opted for the DrawingPrintManager option and just accepted that each drawing will need to be visibly opened
