Re: RevBrowserPrint
Before I post a proposal to the quality center : Would a command revBrowserPrintToPdf browserId, fileName (returning a result if possible) be useful to many of us? Problem though : on mac os, pdf is within the system so it makes sens. On the other hand it seems that pdf was not included in windows, and is still not shipping with windows 7. So that is a problem for multi os development. Is there an easy way around that? -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/RevBrowserPrint-tp1564242p2231124.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: RevBrowserPrint
I am looking for a solution to print pdf files from the browser. problems to summit up regarding the limitations of revBrowserPrint command : 1) No background print process : revbrowser systematicaly calls the dialog, no parameters can be passed and you get no answer about what has been going on. In my case, I wanted preset pdf printing and give a file name. Out it goes! (why are so many basic needs only fullfilled to 90% by runrev implementation... begining tro drive me nuts and doubtful!) 2) Not reliable for flash content : doe not seem to print out flash content... which is a serious problem for a lot of sites.. and revBrowser is often crashed on intensive flash based sites when revBrowserPrint is called (my experience on macBook mac os x 10.5.8). 3) Sometimes prints the whole html page, good, but other times only the visible portion of the browser, like a picture, and that is no good! I did not quite get the rationale of it (when exacly and why..). it seems it may be linked with 2) maybe trying to offer an alternate view when not able to print the flash content!? to be a little bit positive, I'll have to troddle on and see what can be done with safari scripting but there goes the windows compatibility away and the whole point of using runrev as a multi-platform dev tool.. Sometimes I do have the xTalk blues or is it the runrev blues!?? -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/RevBrowserPrint-tp1564242p2229797.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RevBrowserPrint
Anyone have any experience working with this command? I'd like to suppress the print dialog if possible, and if that's not possible then it's important to know whether the user completed or dismissed the print dialog. I'm not getting anything returned in the result which would indicate what the user did with the print dialog window (which seems unavoidable). Thanks, Ray Horsley LinkIt!

Re: RevBrowserPrint
Mark, Once again, thanks for your input on this. Here's my conclusion. I can either: 1) Print only the browser part of the card and get clear text 2) Print only the non-browser part of the card and get clear text 3) Print both the browser and non-browser parts (via snap shot) and get fuzzy text I think we can live with this limitation so we'll probably go with number 1.

Yes, of course, it would be working with the native printing routines and should look as expected. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev On 22 February 2010 08:19, Ray Horsley wrote: > Mark, > > Good question.

Re: RevBrowserPrint
Mark, Good question. So I just printed using revBrowserPrint and got pretty good results. In fact, the clarity was the same quality I would expect in printing any text and it was not grainy at all.
