Ok, here's the scenario:
We've got an intranet application that creates a PDF file for the
user. This PDF file is embedded in a HTML page via an <object> tag, and
additional information is placed in the remainder of the page.
What I need to know, is can a print command be sent to this embedded PDF
document thru javascript?
I know I could place the javascript in the document, but the PDF needs to
be pure as the format is approved by a controlling agency. So I need an
external call to activate the PDF printing.
I've tried document.getElementById("pdf1").print(), and nothing
happens. Also tried to use the print function from adobe's JavaScript
manual, no dice.
any and all help is appreciated.
thanks,
Joe
