Printing and preview PDF documents.

[Geir Holme]

Hi.
We want to avoid Crystal and use 3. part .dll's to design and print .PDF
documents. To preview documents we have a solution, but not to print them
without previw first. Does anyone have some ideas on what to use to print
..pdf directly? We use ComponentOne to genereate the .pdf and e.g. save it to
a file. But we don't have a solution for getting the file printed to a
printer without first previewing it.

Thanks all for any ideas here.

regards geir

Hi,
If you are working with SQL server 2000 as your backend then you could
easily try with the reporting services shipped with it. Where you cud
generate pdf's, excel, rtf's and some other file formats.

Hi,

I have a solution, but it is not too elegant ..


What you could do is add javascript into the PDF, and then render it in
a browser. Just hide the browser control . It worked for me
