Avoid Print Dialog Box

My company is exporting Postcards in Illustrator CS6. What we do is have a large data set imported into the Variables applet and use the Actions applet to record and export action and play it through the whole data set. We later combine the PDF files and print them as a batch.
My question is: Is there a way to create an action that will automatically print the data set while avoiding the print dialog box? It will make the process simple and move faster.
Also, what are your was of creating postcards? Catalogs?
How do people create a catalog with over 60 pages and keep the file size low?

Take a look at AI's Batch Process dialog. You can use data sets there.

How to avoid the dialog box "SAVE, Open, Cancel" When we take a pdf print.

I have an item entry form. User select different items and then submit the order by pressing submit button.
I want that when the user click the submit button he is directet to the print preview page. I have done that and it is running fine but the issue is when user click on the submit button the dialog box appear showing file name and an option to save or open the file. I want to avoid that dialog box and I want that the file is opened directly.
In shot I want that the user goes directly to the open file option instead of giving him the options.
Thx,

Hello Syed,
I thought this is a browser behavior. In Firefox it asks the first time what I want to do.
If I select open and select the checkbox to do that always like that, it's opening directly.
I searched a bit in javascript, use an iframe or specify different targets, the behavior is the same, unless I check the checkbox I get the dialog box. Maybe there's a workaround, but I didn't find that yet.
Regards,
Dimitri

Print Preview is missing from Firefox 6 on Mac OSX Lion in both File Menu and Print Dialog Box

The question says it all really. Print Preview option is missing from both the File menu and from the Print dialog box when you select Print. I use Print Preview a lot to avoid wasting paper.
A relevant issue might be that the Mac OSX app Preview is currently having trouble with various printers including my Xerox and so, temporarily, the default application for all Preview items is now Adobe Reader until Apple get their act together. Perhaps this is affecting things?
Thanks for any help

It's moved to the PDF dropdown, "Open PDF in Preview"

Print Dialog-box Pop-Up while doing Post Good Receipt in VL32N

I have created Inbound delivery for a Purchase Order. When i try to perform Post Good Receipt operation, the material is getting posted to the respective storage location, but the print dialog-box appears immediately. I faced this problem in only one plant.
Output Conditions are maintained for the specific output type, in that medium is print output and time of output is Print with own application.
Why the system is giving print dialog box when we perfrom Post Good receipt operation?

Hi Pawan,
As sheer conincidence I should say, I just posted question on this topic just 1 hour back. And based on the comments in your question my problem is also solved. Thanks for that.
BTW, I can confirm that the settings you have mentioned are correct. As I have tested it.
Do you want to consider setting for auto GR?
Logistics Execution -> Warehouse Management -> Interfaces -> Shipping -> Define Shipping Control -> Define Shipping Control at the Movement Type Level -> For movement type 101 we have put the Copy WM quantity as 'Copy WM quantity as delivery quantity and post GR/GI'.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Prakash

Printing from FLASH without "Print dialog Box" Pop-up window?

hi guys,
i got a flash + OSX question, maybe someone can help me,
i'm working on a Adobe Flash (Flash version 9, actionScript
3) project, running on a MacOS X 10.4, on a core2duo iMac, it is
connected to a printer (Xerox Phaser 6360).
- the flash will be displayed in full screen.
- it is a "create your own postcard- &- print it out"
flash-based multimedia project.
- so Flash will need to print stuff.
issue is:
- everytime when something need to be printed, macOS X will
prompt a "Print Box" pop-up window say Cancel or Print (see my jpeg
below).
- so it might overlap on top of my Flash project, which is
running full screen (so having the pop-up window overlapping my
flash is no good).
so i need a solution to avoid this, any idea?
what i can think of are:
A- is there a way to avoid/by-pass this step? meaning a way
not to show this?
or
B- or is there a shareware/way to "auto-click RETURN button"
so even this screen appear it will be "auto-click" away.
or ..C?
i knew there is a Plug-in (or Xtra) for Macromedia Director
called: Print-o-matic,
the URL is:
http://www.printomatic.com/products.cfm/
it work well on the Director on Mac OS7, but they only made
it for Director & Authorware, not Flash :-( do you know
something similar for Flash?
this
is the pop-up Print dialog box i meant (which i want to avoid),
click to view
or u can copy the URL to view there:
http://photos-g.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v193/184/11/743997016/n743997016_546542_881 6.jpg
about the printer URL:
[url=http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6360/enus.html]High
speed color for high volume printing - Phaser 6360[/url]
hope i'm able to get a solution here.
thanks guys,
cheers,
tintoy

Print html file without seeing a print dialog box

i need to script an action that would allow a user to print a sparcly formated html file to a printer while bypassing the normal print dialog box.
the unix lpr command seems like it might work, but the man page only mentions PS and txt files.
Ultimately i'd want to trigger the print action from a php script, but it could be a folder action also.
Does anyone have any suggestions or point me in the right direction.

lp is the right command to use but you may need to convert the html file in PDF format before printing it. Just test it. Also type man lp to see more options.
enscript is a nice utility that may help you. man enscript for more.

After updating to Firefox 32.0.3 Print Dialog box will not apear in XP/Win7Pro after a while but a restart of Firefox will allow it to show up again..

After automatically updating to 32.0.3 last Thursday and this Monday on all our Staff and Patron computers both Win7 pro and XP pro we have seen Firefox sessions that will not bring up the Print Dialog. The Print Preview dialog will come up but no print button or print menu item will bring up the Print Dialog. After you close Firefox and reopen it the Print Dialog box will work again for some time. The websites that Patron and Staff use during a session are different and done seem to be the cause. The Firefox settings are at fault because a simply restart of just Firefox fixes the issue and no other web browsers or application has any problem with displaying the Print Dialog at any time. Again this began on all the computers as soon as 32.0.3 was installed automatically over night.

Hi NPLD,
Thank you for your question, I understand that there are multiple computers that no longer have a working print dialogue after a while of using Firefox. However after a restart, the print dialogue continues to act normally.
Does resetting the printing settings on the affected computers only temporarily change this as well?[[Fix printing problems in Firefox]]
I noticed it when I tested this page: [http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/home-makeovers/1920s-home-before-after?src=spr_FBPAGE&spr_id=1451_94608649#slide-2] However I cannont reproduce it all the time. The print icon in the page has a opened a printable view and then the print dialoge comes up. When I switched to another program, that icon did not open the preview.
Do you notice any about:config entries that change when you see this start to happen?

How to suppress print dialog box from popping up under a condition

Greetings...
There may be a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do, so I'm open to outside-the-box suggestions.
I have a pretty simple page which lists a set of statuses and descriptions of each. The user can edit these status flags and their descriptions on the page as well. When I view the page in "printer friendly" mode, I see a nice simple report of what the statuses are and their descriptions. Everything works great so far.
In our work request system built in ApEx, there's a page where someone can view the details of a work request, including the current status. When someone clicks on the help of that item, what I'd love to do is simple show the "printer friendly" version the status page mentioned above in a pop up window. My problem is that the print dialog box automatically shows up when a page is displayed in "printer friendly" mode and I do not want this to happen in this case.
I see the javascript code in the Printer Friendly page template which causes the print dialog box to show up automatically, but I don't want to remove it in the template just for this one case. This would suppress the print dialog box on all "printer friendly" page views and the users are used to it showing up when they ask to print the page.
I guess I could create a custom request to pass to the master status page which would pretty much do everything that the "printer friendly" mode is doing, but that seems like a lot of work when I'm so close to using something that is built in.
Am I not seeing some simple other way of doing it or perhaps asking too much? Any suggestions?
Shane.

Hi,
I think you have to call the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and pass NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
Something like:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
      no_dialog      = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      out_parameters = ls_params
      valid          = lv_valid
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS         = 1.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS ls_params NO DIALOG.
* Display Table
lr_table->display( ).
add: Spool numbers can be found in TSP01 or in system field SY-SPONO available in the submitting program...
Hope it helps,
Kr,
m.

Print Dialog Box for Addon is not showing in Terminal Server

Dear All,
I have created a addon for Automatic Sales Invoice printing that prints the crystal report directly to the printer bu opening a
print dialog box for printer selection through SDK code.
The Same addon works fine on the server with print dialog box being showing through SDK code.
But while running on Terminal Server , print dialog box is not showing any printer though printers are redirected to that
terminal server.I am not getting whether the problem is in my addon or in the terminal server printer settings.
Please suggest as i need to know the reason urgently.
Thanks
Amit

But while using terminal server , the print dialog box is not getting any printer in the dialog box .That's the major concern for me
is their any way to check that why the printers are not showing in print dialog box.
Thanks ,
Amit

Current View option in the Print dialog box

I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable. Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print.
When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

duh...
Figured out I had to tweak it in the "copies and Pages"

I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

Sorry for late reply i was not at work
I have a default set excel is still throwing error. Interestingly winword , powerpoint and publisher are working fine. I am able to print from all office applications except Excel.
Probably excel behaves differently from other office applications.
Probably it is a bug in excel
Workaround : Log on to a system once using newly created account then runas excel using this account then print works fine.
It means something in user profile should be configure to run excel print operation. Could you please somebody help what I need to configure in user profile that makes print operation success?

Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
Has anyone come across this? Help!

This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.
