From the Edge: Pick and Print PDFs On Demand! Section: Plugins Chapter: Running R:BASE Your Way! Platform: R:BASE 7.0 for Windows Build: 7.0.70.30107 and higher
There are times when you would like your employee(s) to pick a PDF file from any given directory and then provide the option to print that PDF file without opening the document in Adobe Acrobat Reader and then clicking on Print icon.
You can automate the entire process that will spool the PDF file to the printer without having to open Acrobat to do it. The user doesn't need to do anything to get it to print. The user will simply pick a file from the list and it will print the PDF seamlessly.
There are at least two methods to achieve this goal:
. Select the file in CHOOSE box and then send the picked file directly to the printer
. Use LoadFileName.RBL Plugin to navigate through the directory and then send the picked file directly to the printer
