I am relatively certain of the answer to this question, but I must ask to be
certain.

I have a client with a request to have a web page that would contain, along
with other descriptive information, a button that the viewer would click on
to print the PDF. The way the web page would look is a couple of products
and their descriptions along with buttons to
1. view the PDF, and
2. Print the PDF.

The button to print the PDF would send the entire PDF directly to the user's
printer.

I understand that a button can be scripted on the PDF itself to perform the
same function as print from the file menu. However, the difference here is
the PDF would just automatically print when this button is clicked on the
web page.

Is there a way to set the document properties for a PDF file that it prints
on opening?

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Roberta

Place this code in the PageOpen action of your doc.

One thing: The pdf will autoprint when opened but:

-It will print to the default printer (which might or might not be the adecuate
one)
-The pdf has to open first. No way to do it without this, in case you wonder.

Sorry. I forgot the code.

Here it goes. Place it at the PageOpen action of the first page:

this.print(false, 0, this.numPages - 1,true)

I have developed eLearning material in PDF format that has a PDF mark (and
printer icon) placed on the page. When the user click on the icon (& PDF
Mark) the PDF printer dialog box comes up. The user can then choose there
own print settings etc
