Hi, all

Would like javascript to attach to a button which does the following:-

asks user in dialog box how many copies of page 10 they wish to print.

Sounds easy hmmm not to me....unfortunately.

If this cannot be done is it possible to have page 10 selected in the normal print dialog box on a button....which brings up the print dialog and all you have to do is select how many copies.

Thanks in advance

Stephen

You can use this code to do that:

var copies = Number(app.response("How many times do you want to print page 10?","",""));
if (!isNaN(copies) && copies>0) {
    var pp = this.getPrintParams();
    pp.firstPage = 9;
    pp.lastPage = 9;
    pp.NumCopies = copies;   
    this.print(pp);   
}
