Examples and additional notes
Related issue: TASKSJAVA-1539 - Implement printing support
Now Aspose.Tasks for Java can print document using printer installed in operation system. For changing printer settings, set corresponding properties in PrinterSettings instance. There is also a new class PrintOptions, which is inherited from SaveOptions and can be used for configuring document rendering.
Project project = new Project("example.mpp");
PrinterSettings printerSettings = new PrinterSettings() {{
this.setPrinterName("Adobe PDF");
this.setFromPage(2);
this.setToPage(5);
}};
PrintOptions printOptions = new PrintOptions() {{
this.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.OCTOBER, 16).getTime());
this.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.DECEMBER, 31).getTime());
this.setRenderToSinglePage(true);
}};
project.print(printerSettings, printOptions);Related issue: TASKSNET-10333 - Add support for scaling with given scale factor
Now PageSettings.PercentOfNormalSize and PageSettings.AdjustToPercentOfNormalSize properties are taken into account when View is rendered. These properties correspond to “Adjust to X % normal size” field of “Page Setup” dialog of MS Project:
Values of these properties are stored in MPP file and one can set values of these properties to render a view with a given scale factor:
Project project = new Project("Project.mpp");
View ganttChartView = project.getViews().stream()
.filter(v -> v.getScreen() == ViewScreen.Gantt)
.findFirst()
.orElseThrow(IllegalStateException::new);
ganttChartView.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().setAdjustToPercentOfNormalSize(true);
ganttChartView.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().setPercentOfNormalSize(45);
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions()
{{
this.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.OCTOBER, 16).getTime());
this.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.DECEMBER, 31).getTime());
this.setViewSettings(ganttChartView);
this.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
}};
project.save("OutputScaledTo45.pdf", saveOptions);Now PageSettings.PagesInWidth and PageSettings.PagesInHeight are taken into account when View is rendered. These properties correspond to “Fit to X pages wide by Y tall” fields of “Page Setup” dialog of MS Project. The properties can be used to fit the rendered view to the specified number of pages in width and height:
Project project = new Project("Project.mpp");
View taskUsageView = project.getViews().stream()
.filter(v -> v.getScreen() == ViewScreen.TaskUsage)
.findFirst()
.orElseThrow(IllegalStateException::new);
taskUsageView.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().setAdjustToPercentOfNormalSize(false);
taskUsageView.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().setPagesInWidth(2);
taskUsageView.getPageInfo().getPageSettings().setPagesInHeight(2);
PdfSaveOptions saveOptions = new PdfSaveOptions()
{{
this.setViewSettings(taskUsageView);
this.setStartDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.OCTOBER, 16).getTime());
this.setEndDate(new GregorianCalendar(2021, Calendar.DECEMBER, 31).getTime());
this.setTimescale(Timescale.DefinedInView);
}};
project.save("OutputFitTo2х2.pdf", saveOptions);
