B4J Question Printing trouble

[Chicao99]

Hi guys, I am expecting some difficults trying to print a canvas. It always prints just the first quarter of the page.


The beggining of my canvas building (pdf is my canvas):

PrintForm.RootPane.RemoveAllNodes

Dim scp As ScrollPane
scp.Initialize("scp")

PrintForm.RootPane.AddNode(scp,0,0,605,870)

Dim p As Pane = scp.InnerNode

p.AddNode(pdf, 0, 0, 605, 3000)

PrintForm.Show


My printing routine:

Dim PA As Paper
PA.Initialize()
PA = Paper_static.A4

Dim PR As Printer = GetPrinter("PDF Architect 4")

Dim PL As PageLayout
PL.Initialize()
PL = PR.CreatePageLayout2(PA, PageOrientation_Static.PORTRAIT, "HARDWARE_MINIMUM")

Dim PJ As PrinterJob = PrinterJob_Static.CreatePrinterJob2(PR) 'CreatePrinterJob
PJ.PrintPage2(PL, pdf)
PJ.EndJob


Can anybody help me?

Could it be the fact that javafx only prints the visible part of nodes. If the canvas is in a scrollpane and not entirely visible, only the part showing will print.
Similar to how a tableview will only print the visible rows, not the one that are not scrolled into view.

As a (possible) solution put the canvas into a node that is large enough to view it and print that. eg, create a node 605 x 3000 and print that.

It didn't work:

    PrintForm.RootPane.RemoveAllNodes
   
    PrintForm.RootPane.AddNode(pdf,0,0,605,3000)
   
    PrintForm.Show

It always print the top left quarter, see pdf attached.
