How to print multiple panel/pages to create a single pdf/fax

Hello,
I have written a software that fill a bitmapcontrol with all that I have to print (text,images etc). Actually I fill and print it, page by page simply with subsequents PrintCtrl(). All is OK when I print to a printer, but if I want to create a fax or a pdf file with multiple pages, it create multiple pdf/faxes, one for each page instead of one fax/pdf file. I have tried to play with SetPrintAttribute(ATTR_EJECT_AFTER, 1 or 0) to queue multiple pages in one print but without any result. Any suggestion (without rewrite a lot of code to use NiReport)?
Many thanks in advance,
Raffaele

Hi Rafael,
LabWindows/CVI is not able to print multiple panels/pages to a single PDF. The ATTR_EJECT_AFTER will simply line feed the current page when the entire print job is finished and then continue the next job on the new next page.

I wonder what is the point of reviving a 16-year-old discussion, and furthermore offering a solution different from what the OP asked for! You speak about a manual process, tied to a specific printer, when the OP was looking for a coding solution... Smiley Frustrated
