Hi all, 

  I want to be able to control the plug-in reader to ask it to start printing.  In other words I have an HTML button which triggers a javascript function.  In this function I would like to be able to programmatically tell the plug-in to start printing the PDF document in a different frame.  I have tried setting the focus to the frame with the PDF document and then calling window.print(), but it only prints a blank page, not the PDF document. 

Does anyone know how to do this? 

-Dave
