Sharepoint printing

[paul_pike]

We use sharepoint to run our intranet. What I want to do is have some pdf's out there that I want ppl to click on and print the pdf. Is this possible with the free product with limited coding?

You may use our PDF-XChange Viewer ActiveX SDK for this.
For this you should:
1. Install this SDK package on the client mashine.
2. On your html page(for sharepoint server) you should specify special JavaScript, see attached example.
This example uses our free Viewer Simple ActiveX Control(ProgID: PDFXCviewAx.CoPDFXCpreview).
Also exists full-blown version of Viewer ActiveX Control(ProgID: PDFXCviewAx.CoPDFXCview).

Thanks for your help. That was just what I needed.

apparently I am not as competent as others. I am passing the url of the pdf to a a page with the simple viewer control. What is the parameter that I need to set to make the viewer display the pdf. Any examples would help this old fart.

Hi paul.

Look to previously attached file:
and change code:
<OBJECT ID=pdfViewer CLASSID="clsid:DFC89414-E8E7-49c0-B14E-EB61245D3A5D" Width="0" Height="0">
to:
<OBJECT ID=pdfViewer CLASSID="clsid:DFC89414-E8E7-49c0-B14E-EB61245D3A5D" Width="800" Height="600">
- after this you will be able to view opened pdf.

I saw the window size for the control and set that for it to be visible but what I am talking about is passing a parameter to it that will let it know what file to open for viewing. Lets say I have multiple pdf files listed on a page and want them to click on a link that will take them to another page where the viewer is. I need to pass the viewer page a parameter that lets it know what file to open. Either thru the url such as http://viewer.aspx? file=pdffile.pdf or some other means from page to page.

You generate the HTML page using ASP, so, you can use your URL parameter file as a value of src attribute of the object.

I'm not so familiar with ASP, but it would look something like this:

Code: Select all

<OBJECT ID=pdfView CLASSID="clsid:DFC89414-E8E7-49c0-B14E-EB61245D3A5D" Width="800" Height="600"> 
    <PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="<%=file%>">
</OBJECT>

I am taking it that the value=<%=File%> is a varible and is not the syntax structure for a file location. What is the syntax that would be proper if the varible was named file?

[paul_pike]

Not sure I made it clear on the last post

The variable is called file and is generated by a javascript that reads the ?http://url.com/pdffilename.pdf at the end of the url
This works with whole url to the file

<OBJECT ID=pdfViewer CLASSID="clsid:DFC89414-E8E7-49c0-B14E-EB61245D3A5D" Width="800" Height="600">
<PARAM NAME=src VALUE="http://mytmf/tps/Forms/ORDER%20SETS/PRO ... nsulin.pdf">
</OBJECT>

This doesn't

<OBJECT ID=pdfViewer CLASSID="clsid:DFC89414-E8E7-49c0-B14E-EB61245D3A5D" Width="800" Height="600">
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE=file>
</OBJECT>
