Printing Adobe form using Webdynpro Java

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to integrate data coming from web services onto a adobe form on the Portal.

This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.

The idea is that the user need not preview the form and then send it for printing.

Any suggestions on how this custom functionality could be achieved.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

"This form needs to be generated in the background and then automatically sent to the local printer attached to the pc.

"Send it for printing" is a bit confusing a statement.

I haven't personally tried this but what you can try to do is use JPS (Java Print Service).

Here's the link to the documentation: [JPS Documentation|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/pdf/JPS_PDF.pdf]

And this for more info: [http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/printing/]

There you can indicate the file stream is a pdf file for printing.

"application/pdf"

Goodluck!

Hi Nidhideep Bhandari,

In WebDynpro Java there is no feature available to generate a PDF in the background and then automatically sending it to the local printer attached to the pc.

You have show the adobe form and that can printed as a normal PDF document, otherwise if you are using a CE check the following link for printing.

In this also you have to click on Print to print the data and it is not PDF, it is just a normal view data.

Thanks,
