Examples

Shows to insert a PRINT field.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.Write("My paragraph");

// The PRINT field can send instructions to the printer.
FieldPrint field = (FieldPrint)builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldPrint, true);

// Set the area for the printer to perform instructions over.
// In this case, it will be the paragraph that contains our PRINT field.
field.PostScriptGroup = "para";

// When we use a printer that supports PostScript to print our document,
// this command will turn the entire area that we specified in "field.PostScriptGroup" white.
field.PrinterInstructions = "erasepage";

Assert.AreEqual(" PRINT  erasepage \\p para", field.GetFieldCode());

doc.UpdateFields();
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Field.PRINT.docx");
