macOS PDFView Printing Hangs

[best4gotten]

Hi,

I am trying to print a pdf file thru my application using the below code.

NSPrintInfo *printInfo = [[NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo] retain];
NSRect printRect = [printInfo imageablePageBounds];

PDFDocument *document = [[PDFDocument alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:FilePath]];

PDFView *pfView = [[PDFView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0 , 0,printRect.size.width,printRect.size.height )];
[pfView setDocument:document];
[pfView printWithInfo:printInfo autoRotate:YES];

This displays the print panel and the preview looks fine however when I press any button for print or cancel the application hangs. I hav also tried to make my own PDF file using photos from hard disk and then printing it but no luck. here is the code for this...

PDFDocument *pdf = [[PDFDocument alloc] init];
        for (size_t i = 0; i < path.size(); i++) {
                NSString* file = [NSString fromUTF8String:path[i]];
                NSImage* img = [[NSImage alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:file];
                PDFPage *page = [[PDFPage alloc] initWithImage:img];
                [pdf insertPage: page atIndex:  i];
        }
        NSPrintInfo *sharedInfo = [NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo];
        NSRect rect = NSMakeRect(0.0, 0.0, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.width, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.height);
        PDFView *pdfView =[[PDFView alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
        [pdfView setDocument:pdf];
        [pdfView printWithInfo:sharedInfo autoRotate:YES];
        return;

any idea on where the things going wrong.

"printWithInforintInfo" looks wrong. Also, use code tags when you post code on the forum.

Thats a Mistake only in the POST.. my code does'nt have that typo.. sorry for that...

sorry for not using tags... my first time...

any clue about the problem???

I am myself unsure about the rect

NSRect rect = NSMakeRect(0.0, 0.0, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.width, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.height);

is it the correct way of specifying the frame for PDFView???

fileURLWithPathdfFilePath is also wrong. You should be copy/pasting your code so you don't create typos when posting.

Thanks GorillaPaws for replys I have added the Code tags and Removed the typos..

I have been struglling with this for few days so my code has alot of RED TEXT ( comments and all that).... the typos jumped in somehow... sorry for that...

so have a clue now?

sharedInfo is being used in:

NSRect rect = NSMakeRect(0.0, 0.0, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.width, [sharedInfo imageablePageBounds].size.height);

but it's not being created until the next line.

HOLDON before i get blocked...

let me tell you what I am doing wrong.. I am copy/pasting my code and removing Commentted and debug code to make it look nice but its getting more STUPID than nice

the code in the second code tag now is the one I am using and its generating the same problem i.e hangs when i press print or cancel...

any clue?? or found one of my stupidity again???
