Overview

You are automating BarTender over .NET SDK. You would like your application to either export or display an Image or Print Preview of the BarTender document to be printed.

Applicable to

BarTender Automation Edition and above

Information

To generate image previews, this can be done using BarTender .NET SDK with the following methods:

• • LabelFormatDocument.ExportImageToFile method- Creates an image of the label format and saves it to an image file. (Same thing as if you would perform "File > Export Image" within BarTender Designer).
    
    
  • LabelFormatDocument.ExportPrintPreviewToFile method- Exports a label preview. (Same thing as if you would perform "File > Print Preview" within BarTender Designer). Note: this is an Enterprise Automation Edition only feature for BarTender 2016 and below.
