hi,

i use this script to autoprint my pdf:

// path C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\user\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\JavaScripts
 
sPrint = app.trustedFunction(
function(bUI, bSilent){
app.beginPriv();
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.printerName = "epson2";
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.none;
this.print(pp);
}
)

it works great :)

but it always prints with the option "auto rotate and center" :(
and it doesnt choose paper source by page size :(

my question:
how can i set the checkbox "choose paper source by pdf page size" option in the print dialog with the api ?

and how can i set the checkbox "auto rotate and center" option in the print dialog with the api ?

when it is not possible :
can i set anywhere the adobe´s default printer settings ?

thanks

ocean

You can use the setPageSize flag, to activate "Choose paper tray by PDF size".

pp = getPrintParams();fv = pp.constants.flagValues;pp.flags |= (fv.suppressCenter | fv.setPageSize);this.print(pp);

See the JavaScript API Reference manual for more details of the PrintParams properties.

Try this script to achieve the same.

Place the below mentioned script on the click event on the "Print" button

var MyDoc = event.target;
var pp = MyDoc.getPrintParams();
var fv = pp.constants.flagValues;
pp.flags = fv.setPageSize=false;//Sets the Auto-Rotate and Center Flag
pp.interactive = 0;// 0=interactive, 1=auto, 2=silent
pp.pageHandling = 3;//3=shrink to fit
MyDoc.print(pp);

But this script will not work, if the user, print through "File" -> "Print"
