Action to print a file without opening it

Hi. I'm using Action Script 2. I'm creating a CD ROM that
launches external files such as PDF's, PowerPoint and Word
Documents. My client has asked that when a user clicks on an icon
to launch a file, that a dialogue appears for the user to either
open the file or just print without opening. Is there a script out
there to tell the flash player to communicate with the file and
instruct it print, without opening?
Any help on this greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I installed Adobe Reader X and i can't print PDF's without opening Reader first

Hi, i am using windows XP and i just installed Adobe Reader X onto a workstation within' my office. I use to have Adobe Reader 9 where i could just open a folder with my PDF's. For example, My Documents folder and right click on the PDF i want to print, without opening the file in Adobe Reader first and then clicking print. With Adobe Reader X, i can't do the right click option and print because nothing happens.
Is they an option in Adobe Reader X i need to turn on or off, to get the function of printing by right clicking on the PDF file without opening Reader X to print please ?

Is it happening all the times or happened just in the starting when you hadn't accepted EULA?
Is it still happening after accepting EULA?
Also, can you please tell what printer exactly are you using?

In Snow Leopard, there was a quick look feature that allowed you to look at files without opening the program. It doesn't show up in Lion on my iMac. Any ideas? Thanks

How can we get the artset from a .ai file without opening it?

Hello All,
I have one .ai file, lets say sample.ai file. located in C drive. so the complete file path is "C:\Sample.ai".
and lets assume the sample.ai file has one traingle shape(3 path type arts) in it.
Now I want to get the 3 path arts (artset) from sample.ai file without opening it in AI.
The function protoype is like below
AIArtSet& artSet GetArtSetFromAFile( ai::FilePath& filePath );
Is there any API like above function in AI? or is it possible to get the art(s) from a file without opening it in AI?

Not to my knowlege. The API only operates on active documents as far as I know.

How can I save an indd file as an idml file without opening the document?

I cannot open an InDesign file that was made in a later version of InDesign because I don't have the right plugins. How can I convert this indd file to an idml file without opening it?

Well..... sort of depends on your version.
If you have any version as part of CC subscription, the latest updates are supposed to be using a cloud-based service to generate the IDML for you so that you can open the newer files seamlessly.

Client_ole2 to Print wpw extension file without opening the file

Hi All,
I am using oracle 10g and want to print .WPW file directly to Printer without opening it.
I have used two Procedure
PROCEDURE Change_attrib(v_filename in varchar2,v_attrib in varchar2) IS
temp varchar2(200);

and Simply call like below

Printing is good but everytime it pop up save as option which is not intended.
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Regards,

If you have a postscript printer or rip which has the ability to create hot folders to link to the printer queues you could simply drag-n-drop and PDL (page description language) file like PDF, PS, EPS to that hot folder to initiate printing. Again, very dependent on your printer/rip device.

Printing a document without opening it in Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Friends,
This is my first thread in this forum. Please any one give me a solution for my below request.
We use oracle 10g and windows (any version). I want to print some files available in a folder without opening it (run in background) through oracle forms.
My requirement is:
A folder contains 10 files of word and excels documents. The client machine user (for example 3 clients’ machines who has different default printer configuration) has to trigger the print command to print the documents.
* I have found Article "Java Bean to print a file to Local Printer" (http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html). I do think it will help.
* I have found a windows command prompt print concept.
PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2
Prints a text file.
PRINT [D:device] [[drive:][path]filename[...]]
/D:device specifies a print device.
* The command prompt print syntax is used with webutil function as given below.
CLIENT_HOST('cmd PRINT mytext.txt /D:LPT2);
1) is the web util syntax only enough for this requirement?
2) In this how to find the default printers in each client machines and use in the place of syntax?
3) Or any other ways available for this requirement.
I look forward solution for this question....!

Hi Jeshra,
Another option would be to find or write a Windows PowerShell script to print any file and then call that from CLIENT_HOST. Many file types, including Microsoft Office files, have a print operation registered with Windows so you can right-click on them in Windows Explorer and choose "Print." You should be able to exploit this ability with PowerShell.
A quick Google search revealed this potential PowerShell solution:
http://powershell.com/cs/blogs/karl-prosser/archive/2009/02/10/print_2D00_file_2D00_function.aspx
PowerShell is installed by default only on Windows 7 so you would have to install it on older Windows clients.
Hope that helps,
Brian

How to print *.PRN file without print Dialog from Java

hi friends
I need to print *.PRN file from java code.*
I need to print directely without open printer dialog box when i select .PRN file then it should able to direct print to default printer.
Here is the Dos command to directely print the PRN file
COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ
(source: http://filext.com/faq/print_from_prn_file.php)
i try to run that dos command through Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ");
But is show that
Here is the LOG of ERROR

          System.out.println(printer.getName());
          try {

          } catch (IOException e) {
               // TODO Auto-generated catch block
               e.printStackTrace();

you need to specify which program you want to execute in Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). So try this one
try {
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe COPY C:\\PrintFile.prn /B \\java103\\HPLaserJ");
System.out.println(p);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Print HTML File Without Showing on Screen

Hi Everyone
Is there a way to print a file (in particular, an html file) from a java app without actually displaying the file on the screen.
ie. print from command line.
I am creating an html file from within java app and would like to print it in one step.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Heres some code from an app I wrote that prints out text. I've stripped out little sensitive bits.
// Procedure to perform when print button is pressed
   void printButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
     int x, y, pageNo = 1, maxPageHeight, textHeight = 0;
     Date today = new Date();
     String tempLine = new String("");
     String tempString = new String();
     Graphics pg;
// Create date and time formats
     SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
     SimpleDateFormat timeFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
// Create date and time strings
     currentDate = dateFormatter.format(today);
     currentTime = timeFormatter.format(today);
// Turn off double buffering
     RepaintManager.currentManager(this).setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);
// Get a print job
     PrintJob printjob = getToolkit().getPrintJob(this, "<printjob name>", null);
     if (printjob != null) {
       maxPageHeight = printjob.getPageDimension().height-(rowHeight*2);
       pg = printjob.getGraphics();
       if (pg != null) {
         pg.setColor(Color.black);
         pg.setFont(new Font("Courier", 0, 10));
// Print header
         textHeight = topOfPage;
         pg.drawString("Report      Date " + currentDate +
                       "      Time " + currentTime + " Page " + pageNo,
                       30, textHeight);
         textHeight += rowHeight;
         pg.drawString("File: " + dataFile , 30, textHeight);
// Print errors
         textHeight += rowHeight*2;
         pg.drawString("Errors", 30, textHeight);
         textHeight += rowHeight;
         pg.drawString("------", 30, textHeight);
         textHeight += rowHeight;
         pg.drawString("col1         col2 col3                 Value        Reason",
                        30, textHeight);
         textHeight += rowHeight;
         pg.drawString("------------ ---- -------------------- ------------ --------------------",
                        30, textHeight);
         if(errorData != null){
           for(x = 0; x < errorData.length; x++){
             textHeight += rowHeight;
             if(textHeight > maxPageHeight){
               pg = nextPage(pg, printjob, ++pageNo);
               textHeight = topOfPage + rowHeight*2;
             tempLine = "";
             for(y=0; y<columnLengths.length; y++){
               tempString = errorData[x][y] != null ?
                            roundLength(errorData[x][y].toString(), columnLengths[y])
                            : roundLength(" ", columnLengths[y]);
               tempLine += tempString + " ";
             pg.drawString(tempLine, 30, textHeight);
         pg.dispose(); // flush page
       printjob.end();
   }Hope that helps.

How to view contents of file without opening the file?

Does anyone know of a utility that will allow you to quickly view the contents - or a part thereof - of a file (particularly Word files) without having to open the file? I have thousands of files restored after a disk failure, but their filenames have been lost and replaced with sequential numbers. The only way of knowing the contents is to open the file, a tedious process for so many. I seem to recall seeing a shareware app that allowed this. Thanks for any help.
MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and paste in the following:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_num from 1 to 5
set the_item to item this_num of window 1
set the_name to name of the_item
set the_text to (read (the_item as alias) from 1 to 15)
tell application "TextEdit"
set text of document 1 to (text of document 1) & the_name & return & the_text & return & return
end tell
end repeat
end tell
Before running the script, place the folder containing the files in the frontmost Finder window; you may want to split the files between several different folders and process each folder before heading on to the next one. The numbers in blue can be customized as needed; the first one controls how many files the script will search on each run, and the other two define what part of the file will be searched. The output from a file which is in a format other than plain text may contain document formatting and other content which will look like random characters.

How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library
