I'm afraid you're wrong. I 've already done a silent printing without any
client confirmation. I just submit a form and the document printing is totally
invisible for the client. You have to configure the target as an iframe with
some attributes:
iframe:
ifrCachee=parent.document.createElement('<iframe name="printPdf" id="printPdf"
src="about:blank" ></iframe>');
ifrCachee.height = 0;
ifrCachee.width = 5;
parent.document.appendChild(ifrCachee);
width must be >= 5 (why, I don't know) but height can be 0 so... invisibility
in the pdf generation:
//if acrobat 5.0 or more
pdf.getWriter().addJavaScript("this.print(false);",false);
//if acrobat 4.0
pdf.getWriter().addJavaScript("this.print(false,this.pageNum,
this.numPages,false);",false);
I think it's a security lack, but very useful for developers
