Adobe LC - Setting Advanced Print Options

Question

Dear all,
I'm looking for possibility to use the .getPrintParams object via JS in the SFP. I would like to set-up nUpNumPagesH and some other attributes for printing.
This code doesn't work:
var pp = this.PrintParams();
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.nUp;
pp.printerName = "Fax";
pp.nUpNumPagesH=1;
pp.nUpNumPagesV=2;
this.print(pp);
I found information that it is not possible to set this prameter in the Adobe LC designer - I don't believe :o)
Thank you,
Jiri

Hi Jiri,
This looks like an Adobe Acrobat level object and you need to use getPrintParams() to get a reference to that object.
The issue looks like you may be referencing the 'this' object of the Acrobat level (which is the doc object) from within the LiveCycle or XFA level of scripting. This is not directly available form here and the way to get a reference to it is to use the event.target variable which should be available in the event you have your script (what event is it by the way?)
So your code should look like:
var pp = event.target.getPrintParams(); //  <-- Changed...
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.nUp;
pp.printerName = "Fax";
pp.nUpNumPagesH=1;
pp.nUpNumPagesV=2;
this.print(pp);
Let me know if this helps.
Ben.
