Print PDF from web without opening A.R.

[Marcin_Wojciuk@adobeforums.com]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to print PDF documents (generated in Crystal Reports 11 on a IIS web server in PDF / ASP.NET Framework 2.0) on client's machines and printers (without opening an Acrobat Reader, but with print options dialog).

Is it possible to make this issue using Adobe Acrobat SDK?

Since the "print options dialog" comes from Reader AND the actual viewing & printing is done by Reader - I don't see how what you want is logical?!?

There are the issues I'm talking about: The business requirement is to reduce user clicks when printing report from the web. There is no need to show the document before print. The document cannot be saved (on server nor on a client machine).

For security reasons (eg. so that malicious web servers can't just start your printer a printing...), it is IMPOSSIBLE for the document to NOT show...

Any document that is on the web can be saved on the client's machine - that's the beauty (or not?) of the web and the protocols involved. If you wish to prevent misuse - be sure to use DRM.
