AW: AW: [iText-questions] Silent Printing of PDF

Mon, 08 May 2006 23:48:24 -0700

the "this.closeDoc()" doesn't work with my acrobat plugin.
The pdf gets printed but afterwards it's still displayed in the publing window.
 
Maybe there is a solution to embed the acrobat plugin as a <object...> inside an html and
make it invisble or so small that it can't be seen and then just use the _javascript_ printing method.
But I am no HTML Guru and I have no idea if that is possibly. Maybe someone else?

Betreff: RE: AW: [iText-questions] Silent Printing of PDF

In order to print a PDF document the adobe needs to open the PDF.  as far as I know you cannot print PDF document without opening. I have found that some versions of Adobe plugins stay open even after printing so I added additional _javascript_ to close the document after printing.
 
Below is code sample that includes closing the document after printing.  so virtually to users it appears as if the document never opened.
 
Document document = new Document();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("SilentPrint.pdf");

 try {
      PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, fos);
      document.open();
      write.addJavaScript("this.print({bUI: false, bSilent: true, bShrinkToFit: true});",false);
      write.addJavaScript("this.closeDoc();");    
      document.add(new Chunk("Silent Auto Print"));
      document.close();
} catch (DocumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
}
hope this helps

I too need to print the pdf w/o opening.
The _javascript_ requires the pdf to be opened in order to print it.
Can I avoid that??

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?

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.

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.
