UseBookFoldPrintingSettings

XpsSaveOptions.UseBookFoldPrintingSettings property

Gets or sets a boolean value indicating whether the document should be saved using a booklet printing layout, if it is specified via MultiplePages.

public bool UseBookFoldPrintingSettings { get; set; }

Remarks

If this option is specified, PageSet is ignored when saving. This behavior matches MS Word. If book fold printing settings are not specified in page setup, this option will have no effect.

Examples

Shows how to save a document to the XPS format in the form of a book fold.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Paragraphs.docx");

// Create an "XpsSaveOptions" object that we can pass to the document's "Save" method
// to modify how that method converts the document to .XPS.
XpsSaveOptions xpsOptions = new XpsSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Xps);

// Set the "UseBookFoldPrintingSettings" property to "true" to arrange the contents
// in the output XPS in a way that helps us use it to make a booklet.
// Set the "UseBookFoldPrintingSettings" property to "false" to render the XPS normally.
xpsOptions.UseBookFoldPrintingSettings = renderTextAsBookFold;

// If we are rendering the document as a booklet, we must set the "MultiplePages"
// properties of the page setup objects of all sections to "MultiplePagesType.BookFoldPrinting".
if (renderTextAsBookFold)
    foreach (Section s in doc.Sections)
    {
        s.PageSetup.MultiplePages = MultiplePagesType.BookFoldPrinting;
    }

// Once we print this document, we can turn it into a booklet by stacking the pages
// to come out of the printer and folding down the middle.
doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "XpsSaveOptions.BookFold.xps", xpsOptions);
