Hi,

I am trying to create a dropdown list on a form that contains about a dozen different printer destinations. I need to users to select a printer from the dropdown, the click a button that will send the completed form to the printer. I am a newbie so any help is appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Acrobat forms (AcroForms) can access a printParams object which has several parameters, including printerName.

Here is an example: https://acrobat.com/#d=fzE2tPnpvftws68XwdjTtA

It is not much of a time saver as the user is still presented with the print dialogue. Please note that you cannot get it to print silently for security reasons (afaik).

I hope that helps,

Niall
