Hi. Is it possible to bypass the print dialog in Acrobat Reader when viewing a pdf document in a webbrowser?

When the user clicks on print or chooses File | Print, we want the document to print without showing the print dialog to the user.

We currently have Acrobat Reader version 8.1.2 installed.

Regards, Pieter

Silent printing is a potential security risk because a malicious file can silently print multiple times to your printer, wasting printer resources. It can also prevent other documents from printing by keeping the printer busy. For this reason, silent printing is only allowed in the following situations:

* The site that is trying to print is in your list of trusted sites in Trust Manager.
* The open PDF is listed as a privileged location in the Security (Enhanced) preferences.
