Jack,

Why not have a link to the actual PDF that it will open in Adobe Reader
instead of trying to print a PDF that is embedded in a web page?

The person that designed the web page had the PDF Iframe set to height
500px. So it put a scroll bar on the PDF.

I changed it 1500px and it prints 3 pages, but also prints blanks if the
PDF
is only one page. Iframe doesn't allow 100%.

Looks like Object doesn't either.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Printing a web page on a kiosk

I usualy print documents generated with CGIDEV2 from the browser, without
user intervention.

The "page" is in postscript, I do it using a mask with postscript commands
instead of html, and I send it to the browser as type "print".
The first time, the browser does not know how to processes it, and asks the
user, reply: use "lpr" always. From then on, the page goes directly to the
printer.

Generating a simple HTML document is pretty straight forward.

Beyond that, I just clicked on the "Print Preview" choice on my browser
and it generated a 5 page document to look at.

While not directly applicable to this problem, I did a basic set-up
like this in this project:

That doesn't sound right. What do you mean by "browser print function"?
Evoking window.print() using JavaScript? Keying CTRL + P to bring up the
browser print dialog? That enables you to print multi-page documents.



if the PDF is larger than pages the browser only prints what's
visible in the PDF viewer.


Printing only "what's visible" sounds like screen capture. But that
doesn't make sense.


We have the data on the Iseries,


So there shouldn't be a problem generating an HTML doc that shows what a
user might want to print.



the PDF is static and on the Iseries too.


You could create an image of it and embed that in your HTML document.
