Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

  • Can't create a PDF from a Web page using acrobat 8.0

    I am using Acrobat 8.0, + Mac 10.5. When, in Acrobat, the dialog box comes up (File>Create PDF from Web) I first enter the URL, then try to click on "Settings" but nothing happens. Then I get an error message. Is this a known problem?

    If the url is for a secured web site Acrobat can not always get the data as it is not logged into the web site. Some web features can not be converted to the PDF format. Is the web address correct? I would use cut and paste since some web addresses can be quite hard to type in.

  • Using Adobe Pro X I cannot create a PDF from a web page.

    After a recent upgrade from a previous version of Firefox, I am now unable to create a PDF from a web page using the Adobe Pro toolbar on the web page.  A "save as" box appears and then the conversion process dies.  I can print the page using Adobe Pro as my printer and it works fine. I can create other docs with Adobe Pro.   How do I fix this on my browser?
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat Pro XI: Creating a PDF from a Web Page

    When I try to create a PDF from a Web page using Acrobat XI, I get the Error Code "Nothing done" and "Authorization Failure", but it doesn't happen on all webistes. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it? I'm using the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI on a Mac. Same result with either Firefox or Safari.
    Thanks.

    It's likely a HTTPS site or you have an authenticating proxy server where you are required to enter a password to acess the web page. 

  • Acrobat crashes when creating a PDF from a web page

    Whenever I ask Acrobat to create a PDF from a web page, it crashes halfway through the process.  Here is an example from the BBC:-
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-19585341
    Printing to PDF from the browser does not produce an accurate document.  The font is too big, and most of the pictures do not appear.
    I use Acrobat X Pro version 10.1.4.
    This is a PC problem.  On the Mac it works.

    The problem I mentioned is peculiar to Acrobat 10 and also to my PC.  On a Mac I can create PDF's from webpages normally.
    I also notice that when printing to PDF from Opera only the first page comes out.  (Using Firefox all pages are printed to PDF.)

  • My Mac won't print a pdf from the web

    My iMac will not print any pdf from the web. The printer (an ho Photosmart plus) will only print a blank shet of paper.

    Try saving the file then, then open Preview and open the file and try printing again. If if the quality is still bad then it's the file itself.

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

  • Controlling shockwave content (dcr) from a web page using javascript

    Hi,
    Is it possible to control shockwave content (dcr; object="application/x-director") from a web page using javascript?
    I believe this is possible using 'FSCommand' in Flash...
    I'd like to use HTML to do something like:
    - html_object[1].go(10);
    to send playback to frame 10.
    Thanks.
    Mark

    Sean,
    Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for.
    'Shockingly' difficult ( pun intended :-)
    Someone really put in some effort on this.
    Very creative solution, putting a flash ( swf ) component in a director project and communicating indirectly through the flash element.
    Apparently, Javascript can communicate with the SWF file & the SWF file can communicate with the DCR file, but it is not possible to have Javascript communicate directly with the DCR. Too bad.
    After looking over this example I think I'll rethink my project.
    Thanks again.
    Mark

  • Create a PDF from a Web Page

    I was on Acrobat pro 6.  Now I am trying out Acrobat X pro ("v10").
    1.  I create a pdf file from a web page.  When I click on a link in the new pdf file, it automatically opens that link in a web browser.  Previously, in v 6.x, it defaults to "Append to the Document".  How can I set Acrobat X Pro to default to "Append to Document" ?
    2.  I find the pdf file created from a web page has no page numbers.  Again, in v6.x, there was page numbers in those files.  How can I get page numbers included in the header/footer?  Is the header/footer configurable?
    3.  In v6.x, when I want to convert a web page (into pdf) that is behind a password -- because it includes links, whereas printing to pdf does not -- I would first get the login page (in pdf).  Then I can type in my password in the pdf file and click on go (right click and select Append) and I would get the next page in pdf.  Now, v10 no longer does that.  I keep getting different errors depending on the web site.  e.g. I was testing on this web site, and get "SyntaxError: invalid XML tag syntax".  Am I missing something or is there a "new" way to get the same result in v10?
    TIA

    Hi paulp14382584,
    It seems that you have removed the Create PDF from webpage tool from the toolbar by mistake. Please don't worry I will help you to get this issue fixed.
    1) Open the Acrobat on your computer.
    2) Right click on the toolbar & select Edit Current Tool Set form the list.
    3) Edit tool set window will pop up on your screen.
    4) Please Click on the 'Create'  option from the list on the left hand side & then select ' PDF from Web-page' from the drop down list.
    5) Then click on the small button ( + & arrow sign towards up ) to add it to the tool bar.
    6) Hit Save to confirm the changes.
    This will add the Create PDF from web-page tool on the tool bar.
    Let me know if you experience any issue.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • Printing a selection from a web page, word document etc.

    It embarrasses me to say, I cannot find a way to print a selection--a paragraph for example--from a web page or a Word document. In Windows it's done with a few mouse clicks: file/print/selection. I'm sure there must be a simple way to do it in Leopard, but what is it?

    While there is no "print selection" command, you can use one of the globally available services to open a new window in textedit containing your selection, then print it.
    Select something and then go to Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection
    and a new textedit window will open with your selection pasted in. Now you can print it.
    I suppose if you do this a lot, you could write a short applescript that'll do this, print it, and quit textedit, and then stick the script in the script menu. Just a thought.

  • Acrobat crashes whenever attempting to create a PDF from a web page

    Windows 7 SP1
    Acrobat X 10.1.9
    This problem only occurs in Windows.  The Mac version works perfectly.  The crash occurs immediately on executing the command, without any wait while the Web page is processed.

    ...but unfortunately it has resurfaced, despite using Repair to mend Acrobat.  I am out of ideas, except to create PDF's from Web pages using my Mac.
         It worked for two pages, but crashed on the third.

  • IE locks when printing to pdf from a web-based page or pdf

    Acrobat 7 standard. IE 6 on XPPro64. It is a 64 bit machine and so printer drivers had to be obtained for 64 bit. When I try to print to "Adobe pdf", the current page out of a 200 page catalog being viewed online, IE locks up and the print job in the queue is unresponsive. It does this no mayyer the site or file being printed from. Other than this, Acrobat seems to work on on the 64 bit machine. Same thing if the page isn't a pdf but an ordinary html page. Printing to pdf hangs no matter what. Is this a known bug for 64 bit? It's at work, and the IT dept loves to mess with things, lock things etc, but I can't think how it could be related to that.

    I think that the earliest version that has successfully run under X64 is AA8.1.2. I think that AA7 will not work on X64 as I recall the various reports of attempts by others to do that.

  • Unable to open PDF from IE web pages

    Windows 7, IE 11, Adobe Reader XI
    I have no problem opening same when using Chrome so there must be some setting that I've failed to find in IE. I've reinstalled AR several times and adjusted as many IE settings as I've found suggestions for in the forum and elsewhere. Obviously, it's a real pain to have to go to Chrome every time I want to save a statement.
    What would you suggest I try next?

    Thanks to those who made suggestions. THE PROBLEM IS NOW, magically, FIXED.
    Yesterday I, once again, opened AR from the desktop icon. Then I selected Repair Adobe Reader Installation and followed the steps to do that. I have successfully opened and saved all online the PDF statements that I have tried since.
    Obviously the problem was with AR 11.0.10 and the repair (finally) worked.
    I just noticed, as I mentioned above the installed version is now different than the version I was having the problem with.
