Print page automatically when related page is printed

[luvfool313]

Is there a way to print an associated page automatically when the user selects to print one page of a PDF document? Say if the user wants to print page 5 out of a 30 page document, and there's relevant info on page 25, can I somehow set it so that page 25 prints automatically whenever page 5 is printed? Do I use Javascript to do this or do I need a plug-in? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated!! )

I would do it this way (there may be and probably is a better way!!).
The example below will print off page 5 and page 25 of the document.

Create a text only button with "Print" as the text, then assign the following javascript to MouseUp action of the button -

this.print(false, 4, 4);
this.print(false, 24, 24);

The only annoting thing is that the first page in the document is referred to as page 0, not page 1, so you have to take 1 from the page number that you want to print. If you wanted to print a range of pages, say 5 to 25 then you would put -

this.print(false, 4, 24);

The 'false' value sends it to the default printer without opening a dialog box - if you want this to appear put 'true' in instead.

Hope this helps.

Ahhhhh, I see you have a machine that goes Bing!
