I am using Coldfusion/Dreamweaver to develop my Web Applications. I would like for the users of the application to click all or some of PDF documents to print from my application. I would like to send this job to printer without any user interaction. I am looking at SDK Software Developer Kit. Can you point me to a Javascript that I can use to silent print?

Silent printing from a PDF displayed in the browser is problematic. Silent operation can only be done from a privileged context, which doesn't include document scripts. I also don't think that there are any command line parameters you could use. In order to use IAC functions from the SDK you would need to have the users download a browser addin, and even then I'm not sure you could print silently.

Try looking on some of the other forums and planet pdf to see if anyone else has already had this problem.
