Hi everyone,

Does anyone know how I can put a link on a web page that will allow my users to click on it and automatically print a pdf document? Obviously I can link to the document I want them to print, but I also want to add a link which will automatically open a print dialog for them, saving a step. I've tried opening a new window with the pdf document as the address and then calling window.print() for that new window, but it seems to print before the pdf document is loaded and I just get a blank page.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this properly?
