    Client Print PDF

    Does anybody know of a way to print a PDF on a clients browser without
    opening the activeX PDF viewer (that is if the client has it installed.

    TIA,
    Jim

      print or display?
      you can not print anything to the client's printers without interaction.
      If they have a PDF viewer installed it will probably auto-open if you link
      to a pdf, but it's a setting of the users you can't force.

          Re: Client Print PDF

          This is what I am envisioning:
          User form that has various report parameters.
          render the report in a iframe and have a print button, user clicks it, a
          PDF is generated and sent to the printer instead of rendering it to a
          window. The information in the report will be printed on a pre-printed form
          so the spacing of the fields are absolutely critical that's why I want to
          use PDF for the printed document.

          Thanks,
          Jim

                      see
                      https://www.activepdf

                      They have a PDFPrint product to do this.
                      I haven't used it but I thinks it does what you are looking for.

                          i don't know if you sorted the problem out, i saw an advert by
                          smartertrader.n et called print manager that sounded like it may help you
                          out.
