Re: Printing an NSDocument
Re: Printing an NSDocument
Somewhere I read that printing is always a pain, but with Cocoa it's
somewhat less of a pain.
Not that I've done a lot of printing, but that was my impression. (Some
years ago I tried printing with Microsoft Visual C++ and that was really
bad -- maybe MSVC is better by now, but haven't touched MS for years).
In my first cocoa project I wanted to print a report for a business
application, with headers, footers, a Logo, certain designated places on
the page for certain things, page x of y, and a print preview. It was a
little bit tedious but not mysterious once I read Printing Programming
Topics for Cocoa. And once I got it set up it was easy to tweak.
I also found the printing chapter in Hillegass' "Cocoa Programming for Mac
OS X" helpful.
