Hi Guys! Is it possible to print the document directly without preview?Let me explain in detail..My client requirement is to print the online course certificate without previewing them,so that the endusers will not take the screenshot of the certificate which avoids misusing the certificate. Can anyone help on this? Note : I use php/mysql in my project. Thanks
Well, I guess it's impossible because to print anything it has to pass trough the operational system printer, then there's always a way to get the document before you print it, like using PDF Creator or some other tool. The other forum members, please correct me if I'm wrong.
PHP/MySQL is server side, which means you are correct. If your users are Microsoft based users, you might want to look into an ASP solution.
i agree with gray fox.. you need to convert to pdf first.. try using some server side scripting to do this.. hope this help

Direct printing is possible in PHP if end-user has his printer shared over Internet. But the overall problem seems a bit strange. 1) There is no way to take control over endusers. So they can use/misuse your certificate. They can simply scan legally printed certificate and "voi la". 2) That's why I suggest send plain image instead of PDF or other kind of markup. Doing image will make editing certificate no easy than editing scanned copy. Since watermarks, if any, will be melted into image. 3) Like I said before you can even try to print directly to end-user printer though it's unlikely user will share his printer over internet.
Not Possible!!! Getting Hard copy is via a Physical Device Printer You cant change that Print Preview Provided by the Printer Drivers Also there is Virtual Printers which can change them into PDF's ex: nitropdf
