Hi,
Im working on a desktop application in cpp. I want to print a multipage document as PDF with "Microsoft Print to PDF".
I used StartDoc to start the print operation, StartPage to print the page and EndPage to finish the page. I used the start and end pages multiple times to print multiple pages.
But I want to do multipage print, where each page is printed parallelly in a different thread. Is it possible to do so?
Thank you

I doubt that aspect of GDI printing has changed but I can't say for sure.
