RE: Printing PDF using FOP...
If you can print your pdf manually from reader then you should be able to print it from application also. Maybe you choose wrong driver when you run reader.

Re: Printing PDF using FOP...
That is interesting, but how can I print with displaying print dialog. In my java program I need to to print PDF generated by fop. I need to have print dialog displayed and I need acrobat to close automatically after printing. I tried acread32.exe /p pdffile, which dispalys print dialog but arcorbat reader stays open after printing. pa On 15 Jun 2001, at 9:37 Maurice Rice wrote about Re: Printing PDF using FOP... : You can use the Acrobat reader to send a pdf file directly to your printer.

RE: Printing PDF using FOP...
Actually the output goes to an output stream. Unfortunately sending the output stream is a little platform dependent. On Windows 2000 I just open an OutputStream to the desired printer. Under Unix I exec an lp command and get the output stream for that: proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(lp -d + output + -o -dp -); out = proc.getOutputStream(); Similar things can be done at the command line, but I do not remember the syntax off hand. For windows I think that specifying an URL for the printer works. I do not remember exactly how I got the command line to print directly under Unix - maybe specifying stdout for the file name and then piping the output to lp. I do not use the command line much. For my application FOP is invoked by a servlet.
