The JavaScript related to printing as shown on page 640 of the Adobe XML Form Object Model Reference does not work in Reader 8.0. I think the problem is that in Reader 8 there is a different page range in the Print Dialog Box. The previous version had 2 page range entry boxes - from and to. The new version has only one entry box in which you enter "from - to". Therefore the print JS using script xfa.host.print(1, "0", "0", 0, 1, 0, 0, 0); does not work. I have not been able to locate anything else that will work. Any ideas? Thank you.

BTW - Any time you use xfa.host.anything, you should refer to the "JavaScript™ for Acrobat® API Reference"
[url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf]http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf[/url]
for more detailed information on what works and what doesn't. The "host" is Acrobat or Reader and it is that JavaScript engine that interprets the call.

The script...
xfa.host.print(1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0);
should work just fine.
