Re: Printing a web page on a kiosk

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.
