print pdf directly, no fo

Hi,

 

Normally you start with a fo file and transform it to an pdf file

and then print it. But is it possible to start with a pdf file and then
print it?

 

Thanks.

 

Met vriendelijke groet,

RE: print pdf directly, no fo

Posted by "Kerry, Richard" <ri...@siemens.com>.
FOP does 

.fo -> .pdf 

It isn't involved in printing the pdf.

I suspect there's another, non-fop, part of your process that prints the pdf.

Find out what it is and call it without fop being involved.

Saying "it is not possible with fop to do that" is a bit like saying "it is not possible to use Internet Explorer to make tea", or "it is not possible to use a car to paint the house".  It's true but it isn't clear why you thought it would do it in the first place.


Unhelpfully,
As Ever,
Richard.

Hi Evert, 

No, fop is in no way responsible for printing a pdf. Not in your existing configuration and not in the new, desired configuration. So, what you want is surely possible, but not a fop problem.

Betreff: RE: print pdf directly, no fo

Ok, some more info is needed I guess.

We have two applications that communicate with each other.
One application is installed on our server and the other is installed on a computer of a customer. Currently we send an .fo file to the application that is running on the computer of the customer, the .fo is processed by fop and gets printed.

We now want to send a pdf instead to the customer thats needs to be printed.
So instead of:

.fo -> .pdf -> print pdf

I want

.pdf -> print pdf

Do I understand you right that it is not possible with fop to do that?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Normally you start with a fo file and transform it to an pdf file

and then print it. But is it possible to start with a pdf file and then print it?

 

Thanks.
