Hi,

you can do this with a custom print button in your form and a bit of JavaScript:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic;
pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF";
this.print(pp);

Note: This script has no effect on the applications print button or the print command ctrl + p.

Hi Thanks a lot for providing script.

I tried same script on the form and when i click on Custom button, in debugger message is showing as "this.getPrintParams is not a function"

Thank you for your support and help.

Regards,

Jay

Ohh yes, I forgot to correct the script,

Replace "this" with "event.target".

var pp = event.target.getPrintParams(); 
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.automatic; 
pp.printerName = "Adobe PDF"; 
event.target.print(pp);

Hi,

Is there any option or script to change the default PDF file name after generating PDF.

Thank you,

Hi Jay,

Did you end up finding a way to dynamically change the PDF file name?  I can change the .ps file name using:

pp.fileName = "/u/forms/purchase order/" + docName + ".ps";

However I get an error when I use:

pp.fileName = "/u/forms/purchase order/" + docName + ".pdf";

Thanks
