Yes and no. It is possible to embed Javascript in a PDF that will print the
document as soon as it opens. See page 79 of the Acrobat JavaScript
Scripting Guide at
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/AcroJSGuide.pdf.
This could easily be accomplished through DDX from Livecycle. Unfortunately
the CFPDF tag that lets you use DDX with PDF files doesn't have the
Javascript element enabled (see the livedocs on CFPDF for the list of
enabled elements). Too bad, it would've been a pretty sweet solution. On the
other hand, if your client happens to have the LiveCycle Server installed
then you could probably access it from the Java API for LiveCycle.
