How to show print dialog as soon as it opens in browser

I need to open a pdf with print dialog through AcroJS. The code that I used is:
console.show();
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.full;
this.print(pp);
In order to add the script I used iText. I made a PdfAction object which add the javascript to the file. I used PdfWriter to set the open action as:
writer.setOpenAction(PdfAction.javaScript(<script>));
But it is not working. It gives the following error when I open the pdf.
InvalidArgsError: Invalid arguments.
Global.print:1:Doc undefined:Open
The acrobat reader version is 7. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks George. Your solution worked to perfection. I was looking at all kinds of twisted scipts and all it took was an event. Thanks again.

How to automatically show print dialog as soon as pdf opens?

A pdf template was created using adobe livecycle, then the final pdf is created using pdfMerger. Is there a way to invoke the print dialog as soon as the pdf is open?

You might want to ask in the LiveCycle Designer forum, but in general, you just need to execute a print statement in an event that triggers when the document is opened, such as docReady:
event.target.print();

How to print set of documents without showing print dialog box

I have created a smartform tht prints a Payment Advice. Its input includes range of Document numbers.
I call the smartform function in loop for all those document numbers. Now my problem is tht everytime tht function is executed the print dialog opens up askin for Printer name and then on pressin 'print', one document is printed and so user has to press print tht many times. To avoid this i added code:
DATA: it_ssfcompop TYPE ssfcompop.
DATA : gst_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
DATA : gt_job_output_info TYPE ssfcrescl.
    it_ssfcompop-tddest = 'LOCL'.
     IT_SSFCOMPOP-TDNOPREV = 'X'.
     it_ssfcompop-tdnewid = sy-prnew.
     it_ssfcompop-tddelete = sy-prrel.
     it_ssfcompop-tdimmed = 'X'.
     it_ssfcompop-tdnoprint = 'X'.
     CLEAR gst_control_parameters.
     gst_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
     gst_control_parameters-preview = 'X'. "Deactivate preview!
     gst_control_parameters-GETOTF = 'X'.
and called smartform function like this:
CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME
       EXPORTING
        BUKRS                      = BUKRS-LOW
        BELNR                      = BELNR
        GJAHR                      = GJAHR-LOW
        CONTROL_PARAMETERS         = gst_control_parameters
        OUTPUT_OPTIONS             = it_ssfcompop
     IMPORTING
        JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            = gt_job_output_info.
this shows print preview but still does not print. What could be error. Please help.

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.

How to show/print waiting message when system is serving pdf to browser

Hi,
does anybody know how to print/show "please wait for your request to be completed..." message when they try to click GeneratePdf button for example
they way i do serving pdf to the browser is as below
response.reset();
response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\""System.currentTimeMillis()+".pdf"+ "\"");
output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
while (contentLength-- > 0) {
output.write(input.read());
output.flush();and this is what was written in my popup jsp ( when user click GeneratePdf , the application will process it and at the end serve pdf file to the user using popup window )
<body> <h1>Please Wait for your request to be completed...........</h1> </body> </html>
<%
boolean redirect=false;
try{
PdfDispatcher.dispatchApplication(response,session);
}catch(Throwable t){
System.out.println("Application Dispatcher Exception ... "+t.getMessage());
System.out.println("Continue as per normal....");
redirect = true; // will redirect to other jsp output
if(redirect){
//go to other jsp
}The problem is my message above never got printed to the page ( i guess because the browser thinks that the response has not been completed )
by the time the response has been completed the whole page will be cover in pdf document
The reason i want to do this because my user complaining that they see blank page for long time when the system is slow to generate/server pdf to them.
and it would be better to show some "waiting message" when the system is processing the application and server pdf at the end of the operations.
anybody know how to workaround this?
Thanks

Add a <div> somewhere in the page where the message should be displayed and put the message and an animated 'loading' gif in it. Hide the <div> using the CSS 'display' property which is set to 'none'. Then add an onclick event to the button/link which downloads the PDF file which gets the <div> element by its ID and set its 'display' property to 'block'.

How to access Print Dialog boxe's "Pages" property

Hi,
I am using the following line to populate the Print dialog box.
xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages-1).toString(), 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)
Is there any way that I can access Pages option using JavaScript with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 where I can show the page range to print?
I want to print 3 copies of 1st Page and then the one copy of full PDF. So in the Pages option of Print dialog box I want to display 1,1,1,1-9. Is there any way to accomplish this programmatically?
Or is there any better way to print 3 copies of 1st page and then 1 copy of whole pdf?
Thanks.

How to show a dialog in fullscreen mode

My main class is a JFrame, with a JTree in the left and panel in the right.
one of the right panels has to show in fullscreen mode, here is the code:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
                GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
                JWindow win = new JWindow(gd.getDefaultConfiguration());
                win.add(currentPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                //the currentPanel here is the panel on the right of the JFrame
                gd.setFullScreenWindow(win);
                win.validate();then i want to show a dialog on the fullscreen, which u noe, we have to give (Frame, modal) to the JDialog, so i could only give the dialog the JFrame beneath the fullScreen panel as the dialog's parent......then the dialog wont be shown.....How can i show the dialog?
Best Regards

Then setUndecorated(true) and then do what the previous post said.
You probably would then want to give your user a way to get out of it.

Reader x 10.1.3 doesn't show print dialog when printing, for some users on Terminal Server

We are running Windows Server 2003 with Terminal Services for approximately 10 remote users.
A few days ago, some users started to complain about not being able to print pdf documents to their printer. I discovered that the print dialog box doesn't open, so they can't even select another printer.
If reader is set to open in browser, it just crashes the browser, if it set to open in Reader itself, it does nothing, no dialog,
I've tried removing the printer and reinstalling. Since it works from the console without issues, I thought it may be permissions related, so I added users to administrators group, with no success.
They can print from Outlook, Word, etc....just not pdfs.
Can anyone help?

Adobe Reader 9.4.6: how to skip print dialog

Hello,
in our company we implement a freestanding self-services kiosk project.
The kiosk uses a browser, which links with internal application server, which contains the required information.
There's also an option to print some documents via Adobe ActiveX PlugIn. Explored some versions of Adobe Reader, we considered that the most appropriate is version 9.4.6. We strongly needed to set Adobe Reader so that the only clickable button in upper toolbar is “Print” button, and also side navigation panel is hidden (because pdf file opens in the frame within the kiosk system page). We've succeeded with this issue.
But now we experience one more problem. When the user clicks the "Print" button, the print dialog appears. Is it possible to choose default printing settings and start printing avoiding print dialog by some standard options?
Or maybe you can provide us an event, which initiates Adobe print dialog, so that we can use it to fire the OK within java script.
Best regards
Anton.

Looks like you need a silent print, take a look at:

The steps are for Acrobat. You'll need to see if they work with Reader.

How to disable print dialog settings being saved, in the registry or otherwise?

Is it possible to disable the print dialog settings -- such as duplex printing -- from being saved after the Adobe Reader is closed? So each time the application is opened, and one prints a document, it is printed according to default settings?

How to set print dialog box to sync with applications

Dear all
I am using different applications, such as photoshop, lightroom, etc. All these applications have their propper print dialog box with enhanced settings.
BUT
after hitting the print button, my computer takes me always to the mac print dialog box, where again I can set different things: I can set paper quality, paper format, the colors...
to me it seems that the settings I have chosen in the application print dialog box are getting erased by this second set of (OS X) print-settings.
WHY DO I NEED TO GO THROUGH TWO PRINT DIALOG BOXES?
Can I omit the OS X print dialog?
Or am I missing something?
many thanks for your help,
Hynek

Thank you for this reply.
I will work around it with presets.
but just to understand this: *which dialog box is the one setting the printer* (when for example using photoshop)? is it the first dialog box, i.e. photoshop print dialog box - or is it the osX print dialog box?
if it is the second, I can skip the photoshop-one... ?
or do I need to experiment with a combination of both?
greetings,
Hynek
p.s. I know, it is a rather late reply. But we became parents 7 months ago, and time at the moment just flies by...
