How to print pdf document.

Yuriy

Hello! I need to print PDF Document by clicking a button
on .aspx page. The PDF should be printed on client printer
without displaing it on the window. I tried Process
namespace but it doesn't work.
Please, help! Thank you.

You cant print directly to a clients printer from asp.net - printers belong
to client side, and asp.net is server side. All you could do is feed the
PDF to the browser and hope the user printed it. Can you imagine the chaos
if we could all issue print jobs to each others printers without them doing
anything.

John is right. you can not print using Asp.net... But here
comes javascript to the rescue :).. But I only know how to
ddo it with html pages. You still have to find out how to
aadecuate this to pdfs.

<script language="Javas cript1.2">

</script>

Make a button or call this script directly from your page.
