(transfer) Java jacob calls the printer to print the word document

After tossing for a long time, I finally decided to use a third-party one and found jacob, which is not bad, hereby record it.

1. Copy jacob's dll file to C:\Windows\System32.

2. Open the service DCom Server Process Launcher (DcomLaunch) in the Task Manager.

3. Copy jacob.jar to the /libs directory of the project.

It is worth noting that I am on Windows Server 2008, the dll file cannot be found, and an error is reported: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jacob-1.17-x86 in java.library.path

But on win system, it's fine.

So at this time, you need to copy the dll files to your jdk/bin directory, jdk/jre/bin directory, and jre/bin directory. Then there is no problem.

code show as below:

public class TestDoc {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String path="D:\\yanqiong.doc";
        System.out.println("Start printing");
        ComThread.InitSTA();
        ActiveXComponent word=new ActiveXComponent("Word.Application");
        Dispatch doc=null;
        Dispatch.put(word, "Visible", new Variant(false));
        Dispatch docs=word.getProperty("Documents").toDispatch();
        doc=Dispatch.call(docs, "Open", path).toDispatch();
        
        try {
            Dispatch.call(doc, "PrintOut");//打印
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace ();
            System.out.println("Print failed");
        }finally{
            try {
                if(doc!=null){
                    Dispatch.call(doc, "Close",new Variant(0));
                }
            } catch (Exception e2) {
                e2.printStackTrace();
            }
            // release resources
            ComThread.Release();
        }
    }
}
