Controlling print options through triggers

Hi,
I developed a report which runs in 2 modes.
1. Automatic mode(runs in a request set)
2. Manual Mode(submitted manually through SRS as a single request)
I got a new requirrment where I need to print the output when print flag is Y and the report is in Automatic mode.
Always print when in manual mode.
After a bit of googling, I found this API
fnd_request.set_print_options (printer =>’<printer name>’,
style =>’PORTRAIT’,
copies=>1,
save_output => TRUE,print_together => ‘N’)
would it work in my case?
If so, I am guessing that I will have to use in After Report Trigger.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Rakesh,
I suggest you you post your question in the [EBS General Discussion|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=475] forum. You should get a much faster response to your question. It's my understanding that EBS controls whether output is automatically printed through a User Profile setting. Its been a while since I've worked with the EBS so I could be wrong.

Controlling print options esp. fit to page

is there a way to control print options, particularly fit to page, from within the PDF itself?
We provide print ready files for our clients who print them as needed, but they are brochures that are set up for fit to page OFF, otherwise the white border (because it can't bleed) around it is uneven.
So they would send the file to our print shop and the printer would automatically print it with this option off, based on the pdf settings for that document.

Go to Properties (Crtl+D) and the advanced tab, you can set the print porperties that will come up by default there, it is still possible to over ride them though.

OBIEE 11g Controlling Print Option in Dashboard

Hi All,
We have a requirement in which we need to secure Print and Export option to specific users/groups only. OBIEE does not have any security option by which we can restrict print option to specific groups.
Only 1 option is to create multiple sections and apply security on the sections. This is what I can think of.
Please suggest me if there are any workarounds so that we can restrict print and export option only to certain groups.
Thanks in advance.

Could any one please suggest.

Controlling print options in acrobat

Hi,
I am new to this forum. Just started using acrobat at work and i need some help. I was wondering if it is possible to set the print feature to make a pdf not printable until you select a checkbox in it, then the pdf would be able to print. If this is possible could you tell me how to do this or where to go to learn how?
Thanks

You will have to use JavaScript to test the conditions and make the button visible. But you will not be able to stop the use of the menu action "File => Print" or the <Ctrl> +"P" keystroke action.

Cannot access Print Options

Im trying the Aperture 2.1 trial before buying the product. I like the editing features of the software but havent been able to print an image yet since, for some reason, I cannot access the printer options through the program. I am using an iMac with the latest software updates, and a Canon 6700D printer which works fine with anything and everything else including iPhoto. When I get ready to print and image, I open File> and then Print Image since Print is grayed out. When I click on Print Image I get a Screen that has Printer Settings as an option where I could specify Media, Quality etc. However, When I Click Printer Settings, nothing happens. Anyone have any thoughts about this? I don't want to buy the program without looking at the out put.

Bu sure you have the latest system update if you’re working with leopard. There has been an antremediate Security Update that lead to exactlyte problem you described and was fixed with the latest system update.

Generating Grayscale PDF Through Printing Option?

I have a document with 100 color slides that I'd like to retain as a grayscale handout (i.e. a PDF file with 4 slides per page). Through the 'Print' option and beneath the 'Keynote' drop-down menu, for 'Handout', I've selected 4-slides per page. But I can't find a way to make the document grayscale. I see a checkbox for 'Grayscale Printing' beneath the 'Quality & Media' menu, but the document still appears in color when I save it as a PDF and open it in Preview. I've also selected 'Color Sync' beneath the 'Color Matching' menu and found options for black/white and generic gray profiles, but these don't seem to affect the document.
Do I have to add a printer or change my preferences? I remember this working with the last version of Keynote. What has changed?

Set your print options as you want them and then in the PDF drop down menu, select Open PDF in Preview. Then go to Save As and in the Quartz Filter drop down menu, select Gray Tone. Then save it.

PRINTING OPTION CONTROLL

hi
can anybody tell me how to control the printing option in the run time with the help of oracle developer (form-6i). i mean i dont want to take the default but create it manually.
i.e every option of printing can be manupulated programmatically at form level.
please help me.............

Hi.,
check this thread., removed by moderator. Please do not just post links.
If you need printing functionality you have to use ALV_TREE.
The Column_TREE doesnt provide this option.
for displaying., check FM RS_TREE_LIST_DISPLAY.
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
What version of IE are you using.
Have you tried going directly to planning and through the workspace route.
I notice you are on 11.1.1.1, I know many issues were fixed in 11.1.1.2, any thoughts on upgrading, though 11.1.1.3 comes out soon so it is probably best to wait.
Cheers

We are encountered many unexpected issues of version 11.1.1.1. If we upgrade to version 11.1.1.3 or 11.1.2, what will be the level of resource required for the upgrade?
Thanks!

Print PDF with special print options of Canon IR printer

Hi,
We have a collection (db driven) of PDF documents that we want to send to our network printers. Some document need a hole punch of some other specific printeroptions of a Canon IR printer.
The ideal solutions is a windows application where i could define virtual printers with their print options (pdf and printer specific).
Eg:
A user creates in a the windows app a virtual printer with name and print options
- FastPunch: Printer IR5570 with hole punch
- Fast: Printer IR5570
- Color: IR C4080
- ColorBooklet: IR C4080 with booklet options
When the app starts its batch it will look at de db and find rows with an PDF and the name of a virtual printer. The documents are printed with specific printer preferences.
Does someone has experience with such an solution? Tips?
Someone wants to make this in vb.net (or c#)? What cost?

I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK but I haven't really waded through the documentation or samples yet. I've only been working on this project for about 3 days now and not full time. This isn't the highest priority at work. I've worked a bit with the adobe reader control and that looks like it has some promise.
I have two significant problems:
1) I don't want the user to see any windows appear other than my console application. That way I have it working right now, Acrobat is required and appears minimized while the file is spooled and then is closed after spooling completes. Not so horrible but I'd like to get away from it if possible. To print the file right now I'm using the startprocess module or something (new version of shell I think). I'm starting the pdf with the verb "Printto" and that tells Acrobat to print to a printer that I specify.
2)Biggest problem. I have no reliable way to change the number of copies or any other print settings. I am not willing to write a program that spools a single copy multiple times just to get multiple copies. Currently my program uses rundll to open a printer preferences dialog, and SendKeys to modify the print settings. This means that the computer cannot be used while automated printing is occurring.
Right now the program's only saving grace is that it allows the user to be ignorant of the job settings so that all the user has to do is indicate an item number and quantity and walk away (hoping nothing changes the focus and derails SendKeys - but we know that kind of thing never happens in XP :P )

Print Option Password Protected

I am trying to figure out how to password protect the print option on my machine. I have a 7 year old who is print crazy. He's goes through in catridges like water. I previously had a password on the print function when running 10.6 and 10.7 but when I upgrade to 10.8 (ML) the password function disappeared.
I can't find the article online how I did it, but I seem to recall having to access in the Server version of the os to engage the password protection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can control this via the CUPS web page. But first you will have to enable the page, because it is disabled by default.
So to enable it, open Terminal and paste the following line
sudo cupsctl WebInterface=yes
Then press Return. You will be prompted to enter your password. Type this in, noting that the display does not show what you are entering, and press Return.
Now open Safari and type
http://127.0.0.1:631/printers
Select the printer you want to control and from the new view, change from the Administration menu to Set Allowed Users. Then type the 7 year olds user name (short name) and tick the "Prevent these users from printing". Then press the Set Allowed Users button. A new window will appear stating the task is complete. You can now quit Safari and then log in to the other account to test. The printer should not be available for them to print to.

Controlling printing and printer

I am trying to control Adobe Pro (create OLE object of AcroExch) during the printing phase with a number of different options for a print shop. So far so good with a couple of exceptions:
a) If Adobe is up when we go to set the printer, I cannot, the print job comes out on the last printer used. Is there a way around this?
b) In most cases I am printing the same number of pages as before, i.e. splitting a 4000 page job into x-number of pages (in order to staple automatically at EOJ) - but the "sub-jobs" are not coming out in the spool in order for some reason.
c) The customer wants to save (to use later) and change certain settings, i.e. staple, fold, ... through my external application. These types of items are not usually in the printer DevMode, though occasionally some are. Is there a way to pass a DevMode or an extended DevMode through Acrobat object calls to reset/set different print options for a specific run?
Bobby

Kind of a mis-quote on my behalf. I was refering to the Reader IKLA costs, but I could/should do this under Pro. So ignoring that point...
From AcrobatPro I still have the same questions:
a) I need to automate all the printing and splitting of a document. Can this all be automated where a specific plug-in runs on startup?
b) If Acrobat is running (via a user), can I manipulate the printer and it's settings for a new instance? This cannot be done under the OLE model, setting the pritner seems to be ignored.

Why does Adobe keep releasing updates for Acrobat that make the PDF print option diasappear?

I am really disappointed that after installing an update to Acrobat 9 my PDF printer has disappeared from my printer list.
This is the second time this has happened. The last time this happened Adobe were still supporting Acrobat 9 and they ended up having to remote in to my machine to fix it.
Now I have to pay if i want that level of support!!! It begs the question why they release these destructive updates. Is it to force people to upgrade to X or purchase support.
Can anybody give me some instructions on how to manually install the PDF printer?
I am running windows 7

Launch the Devices and printers setup utility through the Control Panel.
2Select the \"Add a Printer\" option.
3Click the \"Next\" button and select the \"Local Printer Attached to This Computer\" option.
4Deselect (uncheck the box) the \"Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer\" option and click the \"Next\" button.
5Select \"My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)\" in the port selection drop-down menu and click the \"Next\" button.
6Select the \"Have Disk\" option and click the \"Browse\" button to open a dialog box.
7Select the \"AdobePDF.inf\" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under \"Adobe,\" \"Acrobat 9.0,\" \"Acrobat,\" \"Xtras.\"
8Select the first item (top item) on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click the \"Next\" button.
9Type \"Adobe PDF\" in the field for a printer name and click \"Next.\"

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.
