UsePrinterMetrics

CompatibilityOptions.UsePrinterMetrics property

Use Printer Metrics To Display Documents.

public bool UsePrinterMetrics { get; set; }

Remarks

Printer Metrics may differ depending on drivers used. For instance, Windows “Microsoft OpenXPS Class Driver 2” and “Microsoft Print to PDF” provide slightly different metrics. Therefore, the final document’s layout may change if this option is enabled.

Examples

Shows how to optimize the document for different versions of Microsoft Word.

public void OptimizeFor()
{
    Document doc = new Document();

    // This object contains an extensive list of flags unique to each document
    // that allow us to facilitate backward compatibility with older versions of Microsoft Word.
    CompatibilityOptions options = doc.CompatibilityOptions;

    // Print the default settings for a blank document.
    Console.WriteLine("\nDefault optimization settings:");
    PrintCompatibilityOptions(options);

    // We can access these settings in Microsoft Word via "File" -> "Options" -> "Advanced" -> "Compatibility options for...".
    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor.DefaultSettings.docx");

    // We can use the OptimizeFor method to ensure optimal compatibility with a specific Microsoft Word version.
    doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(MsWordVersion.Word2010);
    Console.WriteLine("\nOptimized for Word 2010:");
    PrintCompatibilityOptions(options);

    doc.CompatibilityOptions.OptimizeFor(MsWordVersion.Word2000);
    Console.WriteLine("\nOptimized for Word 2000:");
