open the pdf files in popup windows, then print them from the opener (after you have confirmed that they have loaded). You can open all the popups that u need - or you could changes the location of the popup then print it again from the opener.

Semi-Psuedo Code

<script>
function openPDF(var filename)
 {
  window_handle = window.open(filename);
  window_handle.print();
  window_handle.close();
 }
</script>

...

<a href=&quot;javascript:openPDF('myfile.pdf');&quot;>Open</a>

I havent worked with popups in a while - someone with a bit more recent experience with them could help you put together a working script. Good luck! -gerrygerry

I facing a similar problem !

Internal website that uses a frameset needs javascript print function.

Function to be triggered from menu frame(top) to print contents of main frame(bottom). Their is a problem! The main frame(bottom) may contain an embedded object (using the embed tag) pdf file or an embedded (using iframe) excel file as well as regular htm(l) files.

Though I am able to print regular htnl files but not the embedded objects like excel and pdf docs!!

Script must be able to detect and print these files. I am unable to solve this. Please help me out!
