Printing from Acrobat Reader via Browser

by info . Updated 24 years, 1 month ago

In an app that I developed, it’s been asked that users be able to click on a document (in this case, a .pdf document), and have it open in its own window and also invoke the printer to print it.

I already have it opening in its own window, that was easy. The hard part is making it print. I’ve already tried doing window.print() in Javascript, but that doesn’t work since it’s Acrobat Reader. It works fine if the document is a text file, though.

Any suggestions? My development environment is Cold Fusion in case it matters…
