Auto-Print of PDF

[ULimper]

Hi,

is it possible to create a PDF that asks the user automatically with a print dialog after opening? Or is there any other possiblilty to auto-print a PDF generated as a stream?

Thanks,
Uli

Hello,

Yes it possible to do that is by using our latest version.

Basically what you have to do is:

- Create a javascript action
- Set the created action in the doc open trigger.

Here a basic example:

Code: Select all

        Using oGdPicturePDF As New GdPicturePDF
            If oGdPicturePDF.LoadFromFile("c:\test.pdf", True) = GdPictureStatus.OK Then
                oGdPicturePDF.SetViewerOpenAction(oGdPicturePDF.NewActionJavaScript("this.print();"))
                oGdPicturePDF.SaveToFileInc("c:\test.pdf")
            End If
        End Using

Let me know if you need clarifications.

With best regards,

Loïc

Hi,

thanks, works perfect (but not in PDF-A, but I assume that is a "feature" of PDF-A)
