Printing Hidden IFrame / Printing an unopened page

1
I'm trying to put a print button on a page that will open the print dialog box for a PDF that there is no need to open. My original plan was to use a hidden iframe calling a javascript function that does what everyone suggests

function iPrint(myFrame)
{
myFrame.focus();
myFrame.print():
}


Everything I've tried along these lines (i.e. window.frames[0].print) has worked in Firefox but not IE. IE will print the main window or nothing.

Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid a pop-up window because there is no need for the user to open the PDF.

Welcome to TSDN!

Have you tried printing a displayed iframe? You could try fixing it to display when printing and then hide again.
