Save default print settings in a form

Back in the Acrobat 7 days lots of people were asking about this, so they added it in Acrobat 8. But there really didn't add a huge number of parameters. Probably the best way to make sure it prints exactly the way you want is to add a print button that uses the "PrintParams" object in JavaScript to set things up exactly the way you want.

Hi Thom, thanks for the quick response. I tried the following;
// Set Default pageHandling to "Fit to printer margins"
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.pageHandling = pp.constats.handling.fit;
this.print(pp);

Is there specific location where it should be in the script?

Put it on a print button and let the user know that if they don't use the button to print it may not print correcty.
