  We have an application that uses C1.C1Report.4 to produce various reports and show them in a Form containing a C1.Win.C1Preview.C1PrintPreviewControl. I would like to upgrade this application to use C1FlexReport and C1FlexViewer, which I should be able to do without much difficulty.

  However, the same application uses a third-party word-processing control to produce a System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument. The application then shows the PrintDocument in the same form containing the C1.Win.C1Preview.C1PrintPreviewControl. Is there any way to use the newer C1FlexViewer to show the System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument produced by the third-party control?
  
  Thanks.

  Hello,

  As stated in the below mentioned documentation link, C1FlexViewer can be used to preview documents like C1Report, C1FlexReport, SSRS, and PDF:
  
  http://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/FlexReport/webframe.html#FlexViewer.html

  Thus, PrintDocument cannot be directly previewed by C1FlexViewer. However, you can save the document to PDF to view it in the C1FlexViewer. The below mentioned link explains the same:

  Best Regards,

  I have a function that used to work with C1Report that returns ```
  
  System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();

  //Setup the printer settings
  
  _rpt.Document.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = GetPrinter();
  
  _printDoc = _rpt.Document;
  
  //_rpt.Document.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = _rpt.Document.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.p
  
  return _rpt.Document;

  
  Is that possible with FlexReport?

  Hello,

  C1FlexReport.Document cannot be converted to System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument. PrintDocument should not be used with FlexReport since C1Flexreport.Document property does not return a PrintDocument.
  
  Hope it helps.

  Regards.

  Esha,
  
  Are there any plans to upgrade C1FlexViewer so that it can use a PrintDocument as the preview document? This would make my conversion process so much easier.
  
  Thanks.

  Hi Jon,

  Sorry to mention that using PrintDocument in C1FlexViewer is not in the to-do list of the team.
  
  Let me know if you need further assistance.

  Thanks.
