I have generated a report using SSRS 2005. I am trying to print to PDF (I have Adobe Acrobat 8 pro) and not export to PDF. For some reason, the web browser is freezing for like 10 minutes. After that, it is popping up the file selector to save the file in a path. When I click save, nothing happens. Did anyone face anything like this?

With the latest version of Firefox (107) it is now possible to edit and sign PDF documents within the browser preview window.
But how can I upload an updated version of such a PDF file back into my Web Application?
Is there any kind of JavaScript API I can use?
There is much overlap between PDF web editing browsers and Browser editing PDFs
the data is pulled down locally and the binary application edits the data however for a PDF, that then requires a local save as a new combined PDF. here we can see a visual reminder.
In Firefox or Chrome there are slight differences but the core need is to resave the PDF as a clients local file.
Chrome has inking
And Firefox uses a slightly different overlay but again the conjoined local data must be first saved as a new PDF.
either by print
or the top right Save (again) AS
Thus to achieve your goal you need to ask the annotator user to upload their masterpiece. However you cannot easily do that in the sandboxed page (with work frame) it needs to be after a user signal such as press button here to upload where-ever IF you were able or bothered to save as a new pdf.
I am trying to print Form using PrintForm in VB.Net
This Form has few labels and a chart control.
I have used this very simple code
Dim pf As New PrintForm
pf.Form = Me
pf.PrintAction = PrintAction.PrintToFile
pf.PrintFileName = "../../generated_pdf.pdf"
pf.Print()
It generated "generated_pdf.pdf" file. When I am trying to open this file it gives me an error
Couldn’t open PDF
Something’s keeping this PDF from opening.
Any ideas on how to resolve this error and successfully generate a working pdf that can be opened and viewed with it's right contents?
The form that should be converted to pdf looks like this
PrintForm does not know how to handle PDF files, which is why its not working.
It only knows how to do .eps, .ps & .ai.
If you want PDF, you'll need something that knows how to turn one of the above formats into a PDF.
Ghostscript & Ghostscript.Net do this nicely and are free & open source. There are others, but I've actually used these and know they work.
I have a select box for file selection. If the file selected from select box, it passes through PDFView.open(selected file path);. It opens the pdf file. Fine.
But if this selection process continues more than 10 times, it doesn't load pdf file further which means it doesn't enter into open function.
Can anyone solve this issue?
Note: This issue happen only in Mozila browser, in Chrome file loading works fine
I hava a web browser control in my silverlight application to display pdf documents.
The problem is the content does not get refreshed even after changing the source of the web browser control.
The first pdf file that gets load is shown in place of all the other pdf links.
The problem is weird since everything works perfectly fine with Adobe Reader 7 and i face this refresh issue with Adobe Reader 8 & 9.
I dont think its anything to do with webbrowser control because html pages gets refreshed without any problem
Looking forward for any help
Try this:
webBrowserCtrl.Document.InvokeScript("window.location.reload()");
I have looked for weeks and I keep hitting dead ends. I know you can create a text or image link and tell it to "print page" in a browser. But so far, I can't get it to print a document, specifically a pdf. I would like the print dialog to show after the link is clicked and yes, the pdf linked to has been printed.
Why does this seem to be such an impossible feat? I have seen it work in a Flash movie, but since I cannot access the native file I cannot see how it was done.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Many of today's printers support direct PDF printing. Lexmark, HP, Xerox to name a few all have this on most of the 'business' printers. On these devices simply sending the PDF file directly to the device over LPR, port 9100, or some other mechanism will result in a printed document. Some devices even support URLs. I do know that Lexmark had some devices that a URL could be sent to the printer as as long as it had access to the URL it would pull the document and print. In this case it supported basic HTML, JPEG, TIF, and PDF.
Hope this helps.
A PDF must be rendered as an image before it can be printed. Usually when you're printing a PDF file on your desktop you could simply right-click on the file and select Print and if you have Adobe Reader or an alternative application set as your default PDF viewer, then the PDF that you have selected will be opened automatically -- at this stage the PDF is rendered as an image -- and then the printing process will begin.
But if there is no access to a PDF viewer that can render the PDF and then print it, then you won't be able to print the PDF. Usually if you have Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, etc, installed then when you click on a URL to a PDF then the PDF will open within the PDF viewer within the browser and you will be able to print it.
Alternatively, you could find a PDF SDK that silently renders a PDF as an image and then sends that to the printer, without the need to have a PDF viewer installed on your machine.
