print PDFS directly to the default printer without looking at a screen

We are generating PDFs off APEX mainly using Jaspersoft.    For some reports, it would be better if we could skip the step of the 'view on the screen' and send directly to the default printer.

Has anyone seen a solution to get there?

Actually, no. It is a relatively frequent, but with no simple resolution question. What you ask for is considered a breach of huge security in web terms. Access to local resources outside the sandbox of the browser to be launched or explicitly approved by the user.

Among the possible solutions that have been suggested are:

  • Connect a printer directly to the server and the mode asynchronous feel secure by a background process.
  • Using a printer that is configured to print directly from e-mail and send the document to it (looks like another flaw of security for me)

    Hello

    We are running Internet Explore 11 with the latest version of Adobe Reader.

    found when users connect to a secure website and a pdf links out there, it does not open these pdf directly in the browser, he wants to save them, and then open them.

    is this what we can change to allow them to be opened directly in the browser?

  • Can view is no longer a PDF directly in the Mail

    Hello

    For some reason any I'm more able to visualize PDF files directly in the Mail on my iPhone 6. I recently move to IOS 9.3.1 but cannot confirm if the problem started immediately after.

    In happier times, the attachment at the bottom of an email would be displayed as an icon of the small 'pdf' and hit that would display the document directly (with options presented here for example, markup, open with). For some reason, the attachment is now represented by a small iBooks and tapping icon that gives me the opportunity to drop, open in various applications, copy, etc., instead of open it directly. I don't think I changed any settings recently, or installed new applications, more my mini iPad also runs 9.3.1 and connected to the same Gmail account works fine. Scratching my head here a little more!

    Thanks for any help guys

    You can open the PDF in iBooks?

  • How to get back the default options without uninstalling and reinstalling firefox?

    I have the antiphishing settup according to the FAQ, but when I go to one of the test sites I don't am warned offshore but actually go on the test sites. I wonder if it is because a an entry in the allowed sites add ons installation has been removed manually recently and I don't know what has been deleted so that I can put it back. Maybe something of another also change to inappropriately. So, I would like to return to the default configuration set by Firefox.

  • How can I find the ability to send a PDF directly from the drive on my iPad?

    I usually mark the homework students in Reader on my iPad and then send it to them.  All of a sudden, I can't.  Accidentally change a setting?  I can always email from gmail without problem.  Any ideas on what my settings should be to return this ability?  Thank you.

    PC

    I can always email from gmail without problem.

    Do you use Gmail app on your iPad?

    Or is it a Gmail account added to Apple's Mail application?

    It is difficult to diagnose the problem without inspecting your iPad. But I suspect that your e-mail application may not be configured correctly.

    1. In the home screen, tap Settings.
    2. Tap "Mail, Contacts, calendar" in the left pane of the settings screen.

    You have all the accounts listed in the right pane?  You can also delete the existing account and add the back of the same.

    Here are some other things you can try.

    • Tap Mail in the home screen to launch and see if you can email from the Mail application
    • Launch iBooks on your iPad and try to send a PDF of iBooks

    Please let us know what you find.  Thank you.

  • Connect a NTFS HARD drive directly to the virtual system without format (ESXi 5.0)

    Hi, I am fairly new with ESXi and everything, so this may be a very stupid question. I installed ESXi 5.0 without any problem and it converted my old win Server 2008 without problem. Windows worked also as a data store and he had pretty much full 1 TB HARD drive connected to itself. Now, I would like to know how this HDD to NTFS to directly connect to this virtual machine. I can see the disk devices, but I could not find a way to connect to this computer. I wanted to make data store or something like that, but that in fact the data store is not possible without formatting the drive.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you

    Welcome to the community,

    Although not supported (I suppose that the system is in any way a Whitebox) you could try to attach the drive as a ROW for the virtual machine. For how this can be done, take a look at http://www.vm-help.com/esx40i/SATA_RDMs.php

  • Create PDF directly from the Pages panel

    Hello world

    Can someone help me find a free script that allows you to create pdf pages unique (or a range of selected pages) by using page thumbnails in the Pages panel and choosing the function with the right button of the mouse.

    I know there are and it is a free script. I worked with her in IDCS5 but I lost its traces on a computer that have crashed and I can't find using Google.

  • Why my interactive pdf file shows the animation between pages only in full screen

    Is it possible to display the animation between two (or more) pages in pdf format when you are not using full screen.

    I made a file in indesign CC and exported (fade effect) interactive PDF form.

    But the animation is shown in the view full screen, can I change this?

    Hope to hear from you soon

    Jachim,

    What you call animation between pages is called the Page Transitions in English. (Animation in the Animation Panel does not in PDF, of course.)

    However, in the PDF files, it can only be displayed using the full screen. It's just the way it was designed. There is no way to change this, I'm afraid.

  • How can I PERMANENTLY change the default printer to Adobe PDF files using my physical printer instead of SIMPLY printing a pdf in a new PDF file?

    Whenever I restart Adobe Reader DC default printer is automatically reset to print any PDF file to the "print to PDF file" as the default printer.  How can I change the "default printer" always default to be my physical default printer, instead of "print of PDF?»»»

    PRINTING a document which is already a pdf file to a pdf file is absolutely ridiculous and stupid for the following reasons:

    1. If you want to save a document that is already a pdf in different PDF file, you can use the function "Save as" in the file menu.
    2. If the user select "Print" to PRINT a file they ther NOT try to SAVE a file.  (We'll give credit to the average user to understand the difference between PRINTING and SAVING of a document).
    3. Most of the users do not need to duplicate the storage of a document on their drives to computer
    4. Users of mobile devices, by the fact that they have already downloaded the PDF file have already used storage space of EXTREMELY valuable and LIMITED memory with the download of origin and most certainly so NOT to use more than this space such a resource limited printing!

    As an engineer, hardware and software for the past 40 + years to really understand the value of making easy allow the end user to change the configuration of something as simple as the setting for the default printing device to use!

    For the record, I searched the online help as well as the forum Adobe Reader community for a thread that explains how to change the printer by default so that whenever I starts the Adobe service it will automatically use the printer default physical connected to my computer to "PRINT" any PDF document.  If I missed something that deals with this problem please point me about it, if no such band rolling exists, then please tell me before making this change.

    Thank you for your help in this matter!

    Sincerely,

    Larry A. Coates

    Hi larryc57256426,

    You can set your default printer following the steps mentioned in this document KB change the default system printer.

    Check in the print dialog box, you have unchecked "print to file" under "Advanced settings."

  • How to select the default printer

    Hi all

    Here's the scenario:
    Report Version:2.5.5.2.7 (I know really old :) )
    Form Version: 4.5.7.1.6
    OS: Windows Xp with SP2
    Whenever the user clicks on the button PRINT an invoice form, the report should
    print directly without showing no preview (is a different button for preview).
    I choose the number of copies that must be printed in a table in DB.
    Make a list of parameter (for destype, desname, copies, etc.) and call the report. (RUN_PRODUCT)
    It is if I take the name of the printer to DB something like \\machine_name\printer_name and assign it to desname, it works very well.
    However, instead of picking it from the DB, I want to know if I can get the default name of the printer directly from the machine where the report is running.

    Reason: If a printer goes wrong and the user wants to print to a different printer, I don't have to keep on changing the values in the comic book.

    All entries/tracks will be appreciatted.

    Thank you

    P.S : I bestow points like cookies ;)

    Hi Buqa,
    Nice to see you in the forum reports ;) if I saw you in the forum of pl/sql.

    In fact if you want to print to the default printer. Then just the DESTYPE PRINTER setting there. The report will go directly to the default printer and if you mention the DESNAME then it will go to the selected printer you. I mean if the printer selected, you'll pass null, then you can just move the DESTYPE then report will go directly to the default printer.

    By NOTHING, I mean not to pass the parameter in the case of the DEFAULT PRINTER.

  • Extract multiple PDF files in the form of PDF files in a folder

    I looked, but have not found a way to do this. I have a table (let's call it TSTATEMENTS) in which a column is a blob that contains a pdf file. In another column is a name for this PDF. I want to run a query on tstatements of filtering on the other columns of tstatements. For example:
    SELECT FILE NAME, PDF_BLOB,

    OF TSTATEMENTS

    WHERE rep_name = 'Joe Smith';

    ----------------------------------

    FILE NAME |   PDF_BLOB |

    ---------------------------------

    G23.PDF | (HUGEBLOB) |

    G77.PDF | (HUGEBLOB) |

    L4G.PDF | (HUGEBLOB) |

    ----------------------------------

    Then, I want to say SQL DEVELOPER to write these HUGEBLOBs to 3 files in a windows folder so that I find myself with

    3 PDF files named g23.pdf, g77.pdf, L4G.pdf. I can do this in TOAD, but we cannot afford to buy another copy of TOAD just for this one function.

    Thank you!

    Mike


    The answer is, no, not currently Developer SQL to retrieve several blobs (PDF files in my case) with a single command. You can extract one at a time.

    I write this for future readers so that they can come directly to the answer and without having to sift through a large number of positions. Thanks to everyone who answered me. I appreciate your time and efforts.

  • Opening PDF files on the only current desktop (Mac)

    Is there a way to configure Adobe Reader DC such opening PDF documents only on the current desktop of OS X (10.10.5) I'm on?  For example, I have 2 separate projects that I work on each with a set of PDF files.  Project A is desktop 1 and B project on desktop 2.  I open a PDF file in 1 Project Office.  Then I switch to Desktop 2 and open a different PDF it.  The default action, Adobe Reader DC done is open the 2nd PDF as a tab on the window of Adobe Reader DC of the office 1, with a tab next to the PDF of the project.  What I would like is for Adobe Reader open the PDF of the project B on Desktop 2 (or any desktop computer, it's on) and NOT on the (pre-existing) window on desktop 1.  The version of Adobe Reader would open a new window for each PDF file to the desktop, I was on and not switch to a window of Adobe Reader already existing (and open).  How to get an Adobe Reader DC back to the same behavior as in Adobe Reader 11 short demotion to Adobe Reader 11?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi vladimirk97544013,

    Would request you to please try this:-Acrobat Reader > Preferences > General > under Basic tools uncheck the option for "Documents open as tabs in the same window.

    Then click OK, quit the application and then restart it.

    I would like to know if it works.

    Kind regards

  • Lost the default screen fonts in Win Vista

    I run my Vista 64 system with the 120dpi screen fonts option enabled. I had to go back to the choice of 96 DPI, the other day because of a characteristic of the display with a particular program I was running.  When I'm done with this program I have reset the selection of fonts at 120 DPI, but the system has not been the same since.  It seems that if the system displays fonts bad, much more "square" as Arial-watch one it had before.  This is particularly visible on Web pages (for example, Microsoft Support pages), and also where my e-mail messages are listed in Windows Live Mail.  The screen responds correctly everywhere where a font can be specified, the default fonts that looked strange.

    There was a slight deviation from the reset of the size of the police this time; Inadvertently, I activated the Magnifier utility and had a devil of a time finding how to turn it off.  The part of my screen disappeared after a reboot, and that's when I noticed that the fonts do not seem to be right more.  Someone has an idea of what might happen?

    PROBLEM SOLVED thanks to a totally independent view in another forum, the term 'Clear Type' came to my attention.  I followed the instructions of the other guy and found that my Clear of Type "switch" technology had somehow put off.  I turned it back on and everything seems fine now.  What appeared to be a police lot was actually right, but very bad morphing.
