Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library	Object Type	Path to PrintTextAsOutlines
WinForms Controls	PdfPageSetupDialogShowingEventArgs	.PrinterSettings .PrintTextAsOutlines
WPF Controls	PageSetupDialogShowingEventArgs	.PrinterSettings .PrintTextAsOutlines

Remarks

The PDF printing engine v21.1 and newer sends the font program with glyph codes to the printer to speed up the printing process and reduce the print job size. Set the PrintTextAsOutlines property to true to switch to the previous behavior and convert text to character outlines.

When you use this property, take into account the following:

• The PrintTextAsOutlines property works only with the DirectX printing engine (the PdfDocumentProcessor.RenderingEngine property is set to DirectX).

• The PrintTextAsOutlines property has no effect if the EnableLegacyPrinting property is set to true.
