My god; my spelling is awfull! what i meant to say is;

System.capabilities.hasPrinting - you can check if the user has a printer, if not you can use PDF output.

Hi Michael,

In System.capabilities you have a couple of functions you can use;

playerType - for the plugin version, so no need for JS.
hasPrinting - you cna chech is the use has a printer if not PDF output, is this what you need?

Hi List...

Is there any technique for detecting pdf writing ability from within
Flash (AS2)? The closest thing I've been able to find would be to call
an external jscript to detect an activexobject, but I think that only
works for detecting Reader. What I'm looking for is a way to detect if
the user's printer drivers has a a pdf writer, detected from within a
swf.

Thanks,
