Hi there,
> How do i print an external .pdf file from director
> 8.0?
The MasterApp Xtra from UpdateStage will do what you need. The
mappPrintDocument is the function you would use. Here are an excerpt from
the MasterApp docs on the Update Stage web site:
mappPrintDocument ( docpathString )
docpathString: string full path to document
Returns: integer task ID on Mac, "OK" on Win32 or instance ID
on Win 3.1 if successful. If there is an error, returns -1
for "File not found" on Mac, otherwise Mac standard system
error codes on Mac or string beginning with "Error: couldn't
launch application, error code " on Win32 containing a Win
system launch error code.
Example:
set err = mappPrintDocument("D:\MAIN\HELP.TXT")
Of course it does a lot more than this. You can check it out, along with
many other useful Xtras, at www.updatestage.com/xtras.
