Printing PDFs on Commercial Printer

I recently started a project to move reports to be generated as PDFs. I generate many reports into many PDFs. At the end of the Process, I use PDFSharp to combine the results into a single PDF. This has all worked fine.

However, the Printer has 6 different trays. It pulls certain paper for different paper types (Letter, A4, ect...).

My combined PDF and single document PDFs all print on plain white paper. I need invoices to print on perforated paper sources, but I have no way to tell the printer that this paper type is different.

The printer is a KODAK NEXPRESS SX Platform.

How can I make the PDF be recognized as a different Paper Type?

Any advice would be appreciated.

The Kodak Nexpress Printers all support the JDF job ticketing format.

You have to embed a valid JDF file into the PDF. The JDF will hold the job description (including which PDF page should print on which paper type).

If you don't know how to create a valid JDF for the Nexpress, ask your friendly vendor sales person for a copy of the respective documentation. It's free for an expensive printer like that.... ;)
