From last couple of days , I was searching for printing pdf document at client side . Some what I tried some codes given online ,but yielded no result .
On further search ,some says adobe doesn't allow such method , or can't be done because of security issues , etc ...

I have following queries :-

    Whole scenario behind printing pdf at client end silently and issues related to it.

    Any genuine approach to achieve it OR other alternative .



thanks in advance ......


What I have tried:

what if we attach report like (rdlc or crystal) in hidden mode  and  print that report when client click on Print Button (ASP.NET button ) and this report got printed to default printer of client without any print preview  .

You may probably try spire.pdf. It enables to print PDF documents without invoking PrintDialog.

PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
doc.LoadFromFile("sample.pdf");
//use the default printer to print all the pages silently
doc.PrintDocument.Print();

You can't do it. You do not have access to the client printer (or other hardware) from your server: you cannot even force the user to open the PDF file when you send it to him, much less install a PDF reader and tell it to print - which is what you would need.

This is why you find results like you are: it is deliberately not possible.
