[thelist] Printing an embedded PDF file

How can I use Javascript to send a print command to an embedded PDF file? 
I have tried to no avail:

        var pdf = document.getElementByID("pdf");
        pdf.MenuItemExecute('Print');

and also

        pdf.PrintPages(0, 1, 3, true, true);

I receive no indication that anything is wrong, or that anything is 
happening.  Has anyone ever tried to do this before?

Here is the html code I am using.  This successfully displays the sample 
PDF file.


<object id="pdf" classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000">
        <param name="src" value="sample.pdf" />
        <embed src="sample.pdf" width="100%" height="600px">
                <noembed> Your browser does not support embedded PDF 
files. </noembed>
        </embed>
</object>
</div>

Thanks,
Chuck
