Anyone know any Javascript or PHP function to generate PDF and print (printer) automatically.
Excuse my ignorance, I searched on google about it and can not find sufficient documentation.
Many many Thanks Guys
to create PDFs, theres the great FPDF-library.
printing automatically fortunately isn’t possible – just imagine this would be possible and every f***g website could (in addition to the annoying popups and stuff) print out something (advertisements most of the time) on your printer.
EDIT :
if you have control over the clients, you could write a little batch-script like (not tested)
and then set pdf-files in your browser to open automatically with this “programm” wich should then print the file without a print-dialogue.
note that you need access to the clients for this and it isn’t tested. in theory this works: i did something very similar once to print out labels directly from the browser, but this was a few years ago using WinXP, don’t know if this still works on Win7 (or whatever you’re using).
