Print Selected Pages Using Action Button

[babilv]

We have lazy people and I'd like to be able to accomodate them!

I need to add a print button action that will automatically print a few selected pages out of my document.

I have been able to create the action button which displays the print options box. I would like to avoid that altogether. Thanks

You need to use the following JavaScript:

this.print({bUI: false, nStart: 0, nEnd: 6, bSilent: false, bShrinkToFit: true, bPrintAsImage: false, bReverse: false, bAnnotations: false});

Put the relevant page numbers in the nStart: and nEnd bits. You might also want to change some of the other bits, too. The bSilent one (I think) is the one that gets it to print without showing the Print dialog.

Look at the JavaScript guide that comes with Acrobat for more info (it's found under the Help menu). (If you have Acrobat 6, though, it no longer ships with the JavaScript guide, so you have to download it from Adobe (I don't have the exact URL, I'm afraid).

Hope this helps!

Thanks Tasha,
