Automatically Print Report

edited November 2005 in Server
Hello

Is there any way that I can get a report to come up in my webtier, convert
into a pdf and print without any user intervention, except, maybe, for the
print dialog?

Cheers

Paul

    To generate a PDF report and bypass the viewer, send a request to the
    WebTier that request "content=PDF", rather than "content=Viewer"

    Ok thanks Nard

    Is there a way that I can get the PDF to print straight away?

    One approach would be to write some custom webtier code to receive the
    request and change Content=Viewer to Content=PDF. This assumes that the
    request contains all required pareter values.
