Print in sorted order

Post by StixStax »

Hi

I've seen this issue a couple times in this forum but none of the solutions worked for me.
I need to print a report multiple times, so I set the numer of copies to 2 and set the sorting checkbox.
I expect the pages coming out of the printer in a sorted order: 1,2,1,2 like it does when I print the file out of a pdf-Reader.
But I get following output: Page 1, Page 1, Page 2, Page 2.
The maximum page depends on what users select in the application, which means that the page amount can vary.

I've tried setting the report property collate to 1,2 and 3 but the order doesn't change.
Do you hae any idea how to get the desired output?

Im using Stimulsoft Version 2012.1.1300

Hello,

Unfortunately, we can only send these parameters in the printer dialog, then with these parameters works printer driver.
Also, we made some improvements in that direction in last versions.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

Unfortunately, that doesn't help. My client is dependent on that stimulsoft version and can't change it in the nearer future.

Hello.

If you can't upgrade to the latest build, we could suggest you to export the report to PDF and then print if from PDF reader.

Thank you.
