**offlist** Re: Printing a web page on a kiosk

This is offlist because I hate to make a fool of myself in public. :)

I have been messing around with this and am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I can do _a_ page but sending the file name as a parm has stumped me. It seems doable, and if I can make it work I will send up a balloon.

Adobe appears to have solutions but they are more technical than my brain will handle.

In any event, thank you for the challenge!! Its stopped the boredom.

The web page is public and open to search.

Crap.

Consider defining that first button as something other than a print button.
Perhaps a "Preview" button? The suggestion of linked thumbnails instead of
a button was, I thought, a great idea.

The documents are already in .pdf format; build synergy from what Adobe has
already done for you. Their options have stood the tests of millions of
users; harness it.

Because you define the entire process, including the hardware and the
software, you don't have to concern yourself(yet) with programming to
tablets & smart phones, and users not having the needed plug-ins.
