Remarks

Global print settings include PrintToFile, CombinedFile, PrintToFileName, PrintRange, CopyNumber, PrintOrderReverse, Collate. Once PrintManager is acquired from a document, changes of its global print setting properties are not automatically applied toward the global print setting. Should the local setting be used, the user needs to call the Apply method. If the user calls SubmitPrint methods, not only that printing will use the current state of properties of the (local) print manager, but the setting will also be applied to the global settings.

Example

private void CreateAndPrintViewSet(Document document, ViewSet viewSet)
{
    PrintManager printManager = document.PrintManager;
    printManager.PrintRange = PrintRange.Select;
    ViewSheetSetting viewSheetSetting = printManager.ViewSheetSetting;
    viewSheetSetting.CurrentViewSheetSet.Views = viewSet;
    viewSheetSetting.SaveAs("MyViewSet");
    printManager.CombinedFile = true;
    printManager.SubmitPrint();
