Auto Print

Any chance of getting an autoprint option, so that when true a print dialog is automatically launched when the pdf is opened?

Hello,

This is not possible as the PDF specification does not support this.

I have seen PDFs that have this behaviour. That is, when they are opened, a print dialog is automatically spawned.

Do you have any recommendations as to how to go about creating this behaviour in the PDFs generated by pdfcrowd? Can I embed javascript that will accomplish this?

Thanks

Hello,

Actually, you are right that this could be done via JavaScript, I didn't think of this option (JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference, page 326).

Unfortunately Pdfcrowd does not provide an option to embed Javascript into generated PDF.
