Create receipt by commands vs. pdf #14

Closed peragethemte closed 6 months ago

peragethemte commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I'm developing a POS iOS application and have created a pdf receipt. I haven't yet added the Star SDK, but about to now. Can someone with experience give some advice between creating the receipt by commands vs just export a pdf receipt to the printer for printout?

We are afraid we have not responded this issue for a long time.

If you already have a POS application that produces receipts in PDF format, using PassPRNT app instead of this SDK will minimize integration. We have an SDK for PassPRNT that makes it relatively easy to print PDFs by using a URL scheme to implement application integration.

If application transitions are not preferred, the PDF may be turned into a raster image and printed using the appendBitmap method. We do not provide an API for creating image data from PDF, but it seems to be a common method.

Thanks,
