Hi,
 
We have a client that wants us to create an interactive PDF. This PDF will contain a contents page where the user can click on a countries flag to be taken to that page in the PDF that has their national language.
 
On pages that contain the translated languages the client would like a button that the user can press to automatically print page. Essentially, he wants the "File > Print" feature all in one interactive button on the page itself.
 
Is this possible?
 
I have CS3 as well if this helps.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.3.1, Macintosh

Sure it's possible, but you have to use JavaScript. For example, in the Mouse Up event of a button, you can use the following code:

print({bUI: false, nStart: pageNum});
The "print" method of the document object has various parameters that can be set. See the Acrobat JavaScript reference for more information.
