[Javascript] Opening and printing PDF file from a new window

[Victor Papp]

Yes,

actually, I use the onclick event to execute these:

1) open  a new window
2) write HTML there using window.document.write
3) flush (window.document.close)

the HTML I write there contains

onload="window.print()" in the body tag
embed tag for the PDF file.

It a bit messy using only javascript, so I used the capabilities of  ASP and simplified the process:

1) using the < a > tag I link to the print.asp file.
2) there, I build this mentioned above HTML code

Hope this helps.

      Hi,

      I want to use this code
       
       < a href="somefile.pdf" target="_blank">click here< / a>

      My question: is it possible to have opened the print dialog for printing this file automatically?
      Like we use it on the body tag:

      < body onload="window.print()" >

      Thanks in advance,

      Victor Papp
