Printing directly from explorer

[tamuzi]

Hi.

I am looking for a way to print PDF files automaticly from IE windows.
The prining shall be "silent" printing so that no interfere is needed from the user.

Thanks.

Are you saying you want the user to click a link on a web page and, instead of the pdf file launching to view, it just prints to the user's default printer? I'm not sure this can be done, at least not easily. You'd have to write a script for the link action in the HTML file. B I L L S W A L L O W

I want the HTML page to be loaded and contain a script which automaticly prints a specific PDF.

You should be looking at scripting resources and not PDF resources then. This process you wish to achieve is assuming many things, but mainly that the users all will have the correct versions of Reader installed and all have a physical printer set as their machine's default printer.

FWIW, I have a virtual printer set as the default printer on my machine due to the nature of my work. I am not alone in this. B I L L S W A L L O W
