Printing PDF by using ActiveX in java application

Hi All,
I'm working on an application that creates pdf documents. The aim is to make a silent printing of these documents so without any user action.
I tried several solution. I tried PrintJob from javax.print and Desktop from java.awt. I'm not satisfy by these both solution.
So now I would like to use Acrobat through the COM interface.
Could you indicate to me where I can find a documentation or some examples of implementtion about this interface and its usage into java. I googled but I found not example of implementaiton ?
Thanks
S.

Ok .... .
I tried in java by using jacob the following code to use Acrobat but I found no information regarding the call of the Acrobat functions (open file, print file, ...)
My exemple is :  
ComThread.InitSTA();
ActiveXComponent oAcroPDF = new ActiveXComponent("AcroPDF.PDF");
  try {
   oAcroPDF.invoke("LoadFile", fileName);
   oAcroPDF.invoke("PrintAll");

  • How to print PDF files using java print API

    Hi,
    I was goign throw lot of discusion and reading lot of forums related to print pdf files using java api. but nothing seems to be working for me. Can any one tell me how to print pdf files using java api.
    Thanks in advance

    Mike,
    Can't seem to get hold of the example described in your reply below. If you could let us have the URL to get then it would be great.
    My GUI application creates a pdf document which I need to print. I want to achieve this using the standard Java class PrinterJob (no 3rd party APIs I'm afraid, commercial restraints etc ..). I had a stab at it using the following code. When executed I get the pretty printer dialog then when I click ok to print, nothing happens!
    boolean showPrintDialog=true;
    PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob ();
    printJob.setJobName ("Contract.pdf");
    try {
    if (showPrintDialog) {
    if (printJob.printDialog()) {
    printJob.print();
    else
    printJob.print ();
    } catch (Exception PrintException) {
                   PrintException.printStackTrace();
    Thank you and a happy new year.
    Cheers,

  • Print PDF file using Acrobat SDK - Warning message

    Hello,
    We are trying to create automatic program in c# that will print all pdf files located in a specific folder, using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK.
    Whenever the application tries to print file, we receive a warning message ("WARNING! A script has requested to print an Acrobat file. This could print an entire document. Do you want to proceed printing?").
    If we press yes, the file is printed, but next time we'll run the application, this message will appear again.
    Since this application supposed to run automatically (with no interaction with the end users), we want to prevent this warning message from appearing.
    How can we eliminate this warning message?
    Is there any other way to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat from another application?
    Thanks,
    Lilach.

    joeln3:  I believe the original post refers to a client application, not a web page.  Why use JavaScript from within a client application?  I understood their use case to involve a client app referencing the PDF Library, loading various PDF files, and using one (or more) of the PDF Library's Print methods to invoke Acrobat's internal print routines.

  • Unable to print PDF files using Acrobat 8.

    I had to uninstall and then reinstall Office for Mac 2011.  I don't know if it's related or not,  but since doing so I have been unable to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat 8. After opening a PDF file and hitting print, Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes. Any suggestions?  I already uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 8, but it still won't print PDF files. O

    While you are having difficulty in printing a PDF file, you may try the  subsequent steps. If you are in a rush and would like to print a simple  document such as a letter, a form, or a calendar, you may print it as an  image. Next option is that you may need to update your printer driver   if the PDF does not print, the PDF prints as a blank page or with  unreadable text or if you get an error message when you print.  Sometimes, when you print a file that is on a thumb drive or a network,  the file gets damaged. Then you have to open the copy on your hard drive  and print again. At last, you can try printing the PDF using another  printer and check your printer connection too if the PDF does not get  printed. get more help to fix unable to printer PDF file hope this helps you.
    Good Luck!

  • Printing PDF documents using FOP

    Hi,
    I seem to be getting the following error when printing to PDF using FOP:
    report error:
    ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1186
    ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure
    I've set up PDF printing by following the (FOP) instructions in the following link:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
    I've verified that my OC4J container and the jsp page apex_fop.jsp is running as it should as I can get PDF documents back if I call the jsp page outside of APEX (by sending in my own template and xml request parameters).
    I've also verified that I do hit the apex_fop.jsp page when trying to print from within the APEX application. The problem is that the two parameters template and xml are both null when trying to print PDF from APEX.
    It appears as though APEX is not sending in the template and xml request parameters.
    My test case is to create a simply report query in shared components, use a generic layout, select the pdf option and click on Test Report. The result is the error shown above.
    Any ideas? I know I'm close!
    btw, I'm using 10g and APEX 3.1

  • Printing PDF file Using Shell Command Line

    Hello I am writing  a program from MicroSoft Excel's Macro that will print PDF files. I have managed to get the program to work but I cannot prevent the file not being opened. Basically the PDF file would get printed but the file would automatically opened up.
    I am using shell command line to write this. And this is my code:
    FileName = "C:\EGB Gaming Lab\Training Manual\Testing Documents\Testing Checklists\Bill Validator*"
    myShell.Run ("Acrobat.exe /t" & FileName)
    I have tried using /h but it still opens the file.
    I am referring to this support case:
    http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/52080.htm
    Thank you

    You may be able to adopt this script:

       -- set see to alias "Macintosh-HD:Users:mac:Desktop:app.html"

  • I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

    To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
    1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
    2 - I have repaired permissions.
    3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
    4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
    I am still unable to print PDF's.
    In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
    In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
    Any help would be greatly appreicated!

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
    ~/Library
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

  • Windows Service no longer able to print PDF files using Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79

    We have a Windows Service that watches a folder for PDF files to be deposited.  Once awakened, it executes the Adobe Reader in command line mode to print the PDF files to secure check printers. The Windows Service was working fine with 11.0.06.70 but no longer works with 11.0.07.79.
    There are no event viewer errors or errors returned to our Process.Start() call.  The Windows Service is running under the identify of an administrator account and has explicit full access to the printer.  We have also tried the local computer's Administrator account as well as the default Local Service, but none work.
    Using ProcMon to examine the failure, it showed Adobe Reader making many successful registry and file accesses.  Adobe Reader then creates a new process, another instance of itself to read in the PDF file and print to the printer.  However, ProcMon only shows Adobe Reader accessing AcroRd32.exe, syswow.dll (sp) and ntdll.dll and then the thread and process immediately exits with an exit code of 0 (no file or registry accesses).  So, something is causing the instantiated process to fail immediately.
    After more research and trying many things, we disabled "Enable Protected Mode at Startup".  This enabled things to work again.
    We are concerned that disabling this feature might expose security concerns for our customers.
    We are suspecting that some security concerns were tightened with 11.0.07.79 that has inadvertently caused printing from Windows Services to falsely be identified as security violations.  Can you please investigate and provide a resolution?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Can you please give the following details:
    1) Command (given in command line)used to print PDF files?
    2) Is the issue reproducible with other printers as well?
    3) Is directly printing the PDF from that folder using command line i.e without using windows service works fine or not?
    Thanks,
