Embed pdf and print (redux)

This continues this discussion in this community
which got sidetracked into an interesting discussion of Hebrew and other RTL books.
My problem:
I want to embed a pdf "handout" into an iBook.
(1) The reader should be able to see it as a thumbnail and expand it to read it clearly.
(2) The reader should be able to print the result when viewed on the computer (as opposed to tablet).
(3) The reader should not have to be connected to the Internet.
What I've tried:
(a) Dropping the (single-page) pdf works for (1) and (3) but not (2)
(b) I followed some instructions from a blog at Princeton.
The basic idea is to create an HTML widget with a JavaScript redirect to the pdf, which was in the widget folder, ensuring (3). When it was working, the (portrait) PDF appeared in a (landscape) letterbox with controld that included "View in Preview," which was good enough to print. This worked great for an hour or so then mysteriously failed. (Now, when I activate the widget, it appears but is blank.)
(c) Put the single-page PDFs into an image gallery. Again, I can see them fine but cannot print.
Any help would be warmly appreciated!

Update! The Princeton-blog solution works; there was some garbage character getting in the way. Not only that, this widget solution works for multi-page PDFs. You should look at the originall link for everything else you need, but just for clarity, here is my html file in its entirety:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    
    </script>
</body>
</html>
Where Paragraphs.pdf is the name of my PDF, which is in the "widget" folder.
Note: this is only the html. The blog refers to a small, easy, clean GitHub project that has the other files you need. And you must follow the blog post's instructions in order to make the widget.
I also edited the Info.plist file to change height and width to make it portrait rather than landscape when it opens.
Hope this helps somebody!

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues?

AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
* Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
* Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Destin

Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that. I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
which will be a learning experience...

CONVERTING SMARTFORM INTO PDF AND PRINTING DIRECTLY

Hai guys,
   I got a problem.
First the Smartform I created doesnt show all TABLE LINES(the rows coloumns)...
so I have converted the SMART FORM to ADOBE FORM PROGRAMITICALY ...
now in order to PRINT ..
one has to first SAVE the FORM(adobe form) onto desktop(or whereever) and give it to PRINT...
unfortunately my CLIENT doeasnt like the EXTRA STEP..
so i best i can SAVE the file to a hardcoded location and
OPEN it ..
But then CAN I
a)PRINT DIRECTLY without SAVING??
b)ISSUE PRINT PROGRAMITICALY
c)I learnt that a SMARTFORM can be GENERATED INTO PDF only at RUNNTIME(from SMARTFORMS>UTILITIES etc)..i briefly tried that..can I use that to GET THE PDF to PRINT when one gives PRINT from SPOOL REQUEST(sp01)
hoping to give some quick points

Load a PDF and Print it Without User Seeing the PDF

I have a client who has a need to allow users via a web browser to print PDFs wihtout gaining direct access to them. Ignoring all the flaws in this logic , I am new to Flex and am having difficulty determining if this is possible. So, here are the details:
1) This is a web browser application.
2) The files reside on a server.
3) The user will view a list of available PDF files in their browser.
4) There will be a print icon next to each one.
5) When they click on the print icon we need to pull in the PDF from the server and initiate a print, all without the user seeing the PDF. So once they click the print icon the next thing they see is thier browser's print dialog box.
I have 1-4 done, I just need help with the most important one, #5.
So, can Flex (without AIR) load a PDF in without displaying it and print it?
I am using Flash Builder 4.6, if it matters.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Well, that's going to be difficult. Before everything else, a silent printing in general, is not what Browser is all about. A print dialog is thrown by the browser when a user selects a print option. Same thing if an application is trying to print using built into it conventional methods of printing - you get Print dialog. It gets even harder if you want to print PDF files silently. You will need to make sure that a file is available to print in case it's generated on the fly. The following code will print your PDF without dialogs to a selected (var printer) printer:
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fi = "AcroRd32.exe /N /T " + '"c:\\temp\\' + "filename" + '" ' + printer;
WshShell.Run(fi, 0, false);
As you notice, the file is on the local system. Or you can try printing over the network.
This code will be a part of a JS function in your html wrapper. You will call this function from Flex using ExternalInterface.
AcroRd32.exe is an Adobe free PDF reader. I would suggest starting from the end - have a file on the local system and working on everything esle.

Convert external documents to PDF and print

Hi,
I have a SAP script and with some help from SDN I am at point where I can convert this SAP script to PDF using the function module below

Now my requirement is, let's say I have an external doc(word or excel) residing on my PC. I have complete path of this file in my hand. I want to convert this file to PDF and append it to the above PDFTAB[] and print to the printer 'TDDEST' as a single document.

BI Publisher Merge PDF and print documents through Java

We need our reports in merged and printed (collated). Is this possible with BI Publisher . If yes, how?
The reports will be called from Java. So far I found the Web Service provided by BI Publisher handy in printing and creating reports but not combine them.
Thanks in advance.

Retrieve Archived PDF and print

Hi Folks,
I have certificates which have been archived. Once I get the Archiv Id of the document from TOA01, how do I use this data to print?
The Archived Document is a PDF Document. Could you please advise steps on how this data can be retrieved and printed?
Information I have presently is that I can get the archived data in Binary Format with FM ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE
How do you process this binary data to get it printed?
Greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Upload pdf and print to spool

Hi,
I have a requirement to upload a pdf file and print the pdf file together with a smartform in 1 spool.
I am not sure how to read and print the pdf file. Tried using GUI_UPLOAD type BIN, but how do you send it to spool in pdf format?
Will definitely reward.
Cheers.
Wong

You have to use print controls and pass the print controls to smartform function module ..
get the pdf file using gui_upload FM ,File type should be 'BIN'.
use below logic :

How to Convert Blog Page in PDF and Print it Directly?

Hi,
I have a technology tips and tricks related blog which is named TechnTechie. I want that my visitors will be able to convert all of my blog pages to PDF and also will be able to print that out with a single click with the pictures in the post. Is it possible to do that? If possible please suggest how to do that? My blog is in WordPress blog and the url is http://techntechie.com
Thank You
Himadri Subrah Saha

You cannot invoke "automatic" printing from the server side. Best what you can do is to download the whole PDF file inline and let the client decide what to do with it. If you really, really want to pick a page out of the PDF file and display that page only, then you should use a PDF reader API for Java to be able to pick a page programmatically. iText is such a PDF reader API for Java. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext

Converting from Word to PDF and printer settings

I have a program that writes letters automatically in Word and if we have a PDF file as an enclosure when the letter prints, it actually converts the word document as a whole to a PDF. This part works great, however, when the letter begins with Word we have the Page setup for the printer to print the first page on letterhead (tray 1) and all pages after to plain paper (tray 2). When the word document converts to pdf, it is printing everything from tray 1 which is letterhead.
Is there any way to convert a document to pdf and keep the page settings as well?
Thanks for any input!

Don't have an answer. However, you might consider creating the WORD document so that the letterhead is built in and you do not need the paper.

Framemaker 12, Save as PDF and Print PDF Not working...

We are using Framemaker 12 version 12.0.3.424, it tells me it is the latest patch level, and the issue we are having is that it won't either save as or print to PDF, both options are failing, they start up and then go to a certain point and come up as "not responding" and then just stops. I have managed to get a postscript file on two occasions that got 141 pages out of 1400+. I have gone through a bunch of the threads here and made sure that I have changed Adobe PDF printer to the default and deselected the box about using the specific fonts, still nothing. We are also using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard, and that is now up to the latest patch level as well. I am running out of things to try in order to get this full book put together and ready for delivery. If anyone has any additional things to try that would be great. One thing I feel might be an issue is that some of the files seem to be using a different font, "Times" vs. "Times New Roman", Frame automatically substitutes it, so was wondering if that is the issue.
Any and all assistance will be great on this.

Then you aren't anywhere near a 32-bit file size constraint.

Pretty much all CPUs are 64-bit now. What matters is the OS version, and Win7 and 8 installs are commonly 64-bit these days. FM may not even have specific 32- or 64-bit installs. I've tested FM9 on Win7/64 for file size limits, and it sails past 4GB with no problems.

As if the world needed another reason to never ever use OLE for anything anywhere, esp. in Framemaker. Export that object in a stable graphical file format (PDF should work). Import that.
