I am looking for a solution to print silently with iText - Silently
meaning without user interaction.
Our customers often order lengthy or nightly reports that should be
printed at times where the user may not be around.
Our plan is to use XSL:FO processing to create a pdf file on server, and
then send it to our running client which then should print it without
user interaction - XSL:FO works nicely, so the only showstopper is to
print the pdf.
So far we have used iText for pdf documents that didn't require silent
printing, but I know there are a lot of people out there who have tried
to make iText print silently - And maybe some of you have succeeded ?
I have browsed all posts I could find regarding this, but dispite many
suggestions no one have had any working solutions.
The common suggestions are: print with javascript doesn't work anymore;
signing the pdf has not worked for us either.
There is one library that can print silently, jPDFPrint from Qoppa
Software (tested and confirmed), but their price policy is not gentle
when your dealing with many clients.
iText developers are you really going to let Qoppa outrun you on silent
print **taunt**taunt** ?
Anyways, if anyone have a working solution I would be pleased to hear
about it.
Thanks,
Med venlig hilsen / Best regards
