Digital timestamps mark a PDF signature with the time and date as proof of integrity. A timestamp shows that the contents of the document existed at a point in time, and are unchanged. This article is going to introduce how to digitally sign a PDF document with a timestamp server by using Spire.PDF.

doc.LoadFromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Example.pdf");
//load the certificate .pfx file
PdfCertificate cert = new PdfCertificate(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\gary.pfx", "e-iceblue");
//add a signature to the specified position
PdfSignature signature = new PdfSignature(doc, doc.Pages[0], cert, "signature");
signature.Bounds = new RectangleF(new PointF(350, 700), new SizeF(180, 90));

PowerPoint print settings allow users to control how presentation slides are printed, such as print all slides, print some selected slides, print slides with frames or not, print many slides into one page, print order, print color and so on. This article will show you how to set print options when print PowerPoint documents in C#.
Firstly, view Microsoft PowerPoint's page print settings:
Code Snippets of set print settings of PowerPoint document by using PrinterSettings object to print the presentation slides:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//load the sample document from file
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Sample.pptx");
//use PrinterSettings object to print presentation slides
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrintRange = PrintRange.AllPages;
ps.PrintToFile = true;
ps.PrintFileName = ("Print.xps");
//print the slide with frame
ppt.SlideFrameForPrint = true;
//print the slide with Grayscale
ppt.GrayLevelForPrint = true;
//Print 4 slides horizontal
ppt.SlideCountPerPageForPrint = PageSlideCount.Four;
ppt.OrderForPrint = Order.Horizontal;
////only select some slides to print
//ppt.SelectSlidesForPrint("1", "3");
//print the document
ppt.Print(ps);
}
Code Snippets of set print document name by using PrintDocument object to print presentation slides:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//load the sample document from file
Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
ppt.LoadFromFile("Sample.pptx");
//use PrintDocument object to print presentation slides
PresentationPrintDocument document = new PresentationPrintDocument(ppt);
//print document to virtual printer
document.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Microsoft XPS Document Writer";
//print the slide with frame
ppt.SlideFrameForPrint = true;
//print 4 slides horizontal
ppt.SlideCountPerPageForPrint = PageSlideCount.Four;
ppt.OrderForPrint = Order.Horizontal;
//print the slide with Grayscale
ppt.GrayLevelForPrint = true;
//set the print document name
document.DocumentName = "Print Task";
document.PrinterSettings.PrintToFile = true;
document.PrinterSettings.PrintFileName = ("Print.xps");
ppt.Print(document);

PostScript was developed by Adobe Systems in the 1980s as a way of turning digital graphics or text files into a fixed format ready for printing. With the passage time, although the PostScript (PS) file format is no longer as popular as it once was, now it is still supported by most printers. In this article, you will learn how to how to programmatically convert a PDF file to a PostScript (PS) file using Spire.PDF for .NET.
Install Spire.PDF for .NET
To begin with, you need to add the DLL files included in the Spire.PDF for.NET package as references in your .NET project. The DLL files can be either downloaded from this link or installed via NuGet.
PM> Install-Package Spire.PDF
Convert PDF to PostScript in C# and VB.NET
Converting PDF to PS can improve the quality of the printed output. With Spire.PDF for .NET, you can complete the conversion with only three lines of code. The following are the detailed steps.
- Create a PdfDocument instance.
- Load a sample PDF file using PdfDocument.LoadFromFile() method.
- Save the PDF file as a PS file using PdfDocument.SaveToFile(string filename, FileFormat.POSTSCRIPT) method.
- C#
- VB.NET
using Spire.Pdf;
namespace PDFtoPS
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a PdfDocument instance
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Load a sample PDF file
document.LoadFromFile("Test.pdf");
//Save the PDF file as a PS file
document.SaveToFile("toPostScript.ps", FileFormat.POSTSCRIPT);
}
}
