How to print a pdf from CF?

[cfhelp]

Hi all,
I am trying to use the Coldfusion Report builder to create a report. I have an option for the user to print the
report or create it as a pdf. If the user wants to print it,(i think i would create it as a pdf first) is there a tag or a third party tool which would grab my pdf file and print it.
I would pass the name of the pdf file to the tool.

Thanks.

once again, one of them is server side and the other one is client side...

Why not just display the pdf on the screen and let the user manually print it?

Thats the option we had for crystal report. We would like to stick to it.

cfhelp, maybe its early in the morning or maybe I haven't had my coffee yet, but I don't see what the problem is. Do you want to: 1) know how to create a pdf via cf 2) know if there is a 3-party program that will take your pdf and send it the printer 3) something completely different.

When i had coldfusion 5 /Crystal Report, i had a dropdown option for the user to print the report or just create it as a pdf. This was accomplished by a com object, which i coded. Now, moving to cf mx7 i created the report using the cf Report builder. Here i could generate the report as a pdf. But i would like to know if there is any tool/cfxtag that would print the pdf(may be active pdf or something), which i could call in my .cfm file. I could write another com object to do it. Was wondering if there is anything else out there. Hope this helps.
