I've generated a pdf using iTextSharp and I can preview it very well in ASP.Net but I need to send it directly to printer without a preview. I want the user to click the print button and automatically the document prints.

I know that a page can be sent directly to printer using the javascript window.print() but I don't know how to make it for a PDF.

Edit: it is not embedded, I generate it like this;

Print to PDF from ASP.NET. This content is based on version 10.8 and later of the virtual printer. At the time of writing, it has not been released. PDF Printing Library for.NET Print, display or convert your PDF documents with ease, using our PDFPrinting.NET library. As a standalone.NET assembly, just reference it in your product and start coding right away.

And here I am.

Thnx.

Is the pdf embedded in the page with embedd-tag or just opened in a frame or how are you showing it?

If its embedded, just make sure that the object is selected and then do a print().

Get the ref to the embedded document.

It's a little more tricky if you're using pdfsharp but quite doable

ALso, try this gem:

I havent tested it, but what I have read about it, it can be used in this way to let the mypdf.pdf be printed instead of page content whatever method you are using to print the page.

You can embed javascript in the pdf, so that the user gets a print dialog as soon as their browser loads the pdf.

I'm not sure about iTextSharp, but the javascript that I use is
