CleanupFilesPrinter not removing files about pdftoprinter HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @JeffSE97062

Do you run the application with the same permission level as you have? Have you tried to run the app As Administrator?

from pdftoprinter.

I did try running as administrator and the file still wasn't removed.

from pdftoprinter.

Is the application a long running one like service or web server or it exists immediately after sending a file to a printer?

from pdftoprinter.

Exits immediately.

Hi @JeffSE97062

Could you please try the 1.4.2 version and confirm that it solves your issue?

To turn on awaiting of file deletion you need to pass "true" to CleanupFilesPrinter constructor like below:
new CleanupFilesPrinter(new PDFtoPrinterPrinter(), true);

Hi @svishnevsky, same issue with the 1.4.2. The file is not removed.

from pdftoprinter.

Do you use a similar approach like below?
`var wrapper = new CleanupFilesPrinter(new PDFtoPrinterPrinter(), true);
await wrapper.Print(new PrintingOptions("Microsoft Print to PDF", "somefile.pdf"));'

from pdftoprinter.

Yes.
`
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
print();
}

    static async void print()
    {
        // Delete after printing. Doesn't seem to work.
        var wrapper = new CleanupFilesPrinter(new PDFtoPrinterPrinter(), true);

        await wrapper
            .Print(new PrintingOptions(
                Properties.Settings.Default.Printer,
                Properties.Settings.Default.FileToPrint)
                );

    }
}`

Thanks for sharing the code. You call the "print" method with no await, so your application exists before a Task is completed. Could you please try something like:
static sync Task Main(string[] args) { await print() }
or
static void Main(string[] args) { print(),GetAwaiter().GetResult(); }

from pdftoprinter.

That worked. Thanks.
