Create an Auto-Print PDF

Postby pvanmil » Sun Sep 21, 2014 10:33 am

With some tools it is possible to generate PDF documents that have an "action" that opens a printdialog after opening the document.

See: http://www.gnostice.com/nl_article.asp? ... _Print_PDF

Would it be possible to do this with PDF documents that are generated with VPE? Or is this an option for the future?

Currently we have no plans to support this. Please note that this bears a security risk, as it forces the user to enable JavaScript within Adobe Acrobat Reader (or any other PDF reader).

But as usual, it is always possible that we make enhancements based on an individual development contract. If you are interested, please contact us by e-mail and we will make you an offer about the cost, after we investigated the amount of work that is involved.

Currently an an Auto-Print PDF feature is a nice to have.

If you use a named action, you don't need JavaScript (AFAIK). For reporting in web applications this feature would be really nice.
