AW: [iText-questions] Silent Printing of PDF

Mon, 08 May 2006 16:52:19 -0700

The SilentPrintServlet uses _javascript_ to print the PDF, but the PDF is still displayed using the acrobat reader browser plugin.
Is there anyway to prevent this, so that is a real hidden print, and the browser displays no PDF but another
HTML page?

Thanks, pls can you send me the exact link or the source code.
I had searched for it but could not get anything.
 
There is one example called java.com.lowagie.examples.general.webapp.SilentPrintServlet
but that doesnt seem to work. Are you talking about the same one??

You can silent print PDF from Java code.  I implemented it recently and it works great.  go an take a look at the example on itext web site there is an example how to implement silent print.  basically you will be writing _javascript_ for PDF when creating the PDF using ITEXT.

Thanks for your response.
Actually I need to send this print through the Java code. Can I execute lpr though Java?

no, iText is a library to produce, parse and manipulate PDF documents.

depending on your OS, this might work:

% lpr thedocument.pdf

but you need to be more specific about your environment.
