Print button or script

[steven5CFC]

Hi, We are currently using Adobe filled forms that have been digitally autorised, we need to able to print these forms once in colour and then again in greyscale. The colour copy will go with the customer and the "carbon" will stay with us. I belive this would be possible with a button and some script but cant quite get it to work. If there is a better solution please let me know.

Hi,

This is not particularly straight forward, as there is no direct access to the print (colour, black and white ) via the JavaScript API.

You might be able to set up a printer profile that prints to greyscale and use the printParams and change the colorProfile options, then you could print once using a colour profile that allows colour, and a second time using the profile that only allows greyscale. ( I am not fully up on the printer profiles so I believe this could be possible)

Alternatively, you can create two separate printers, one for B&W and one for color. Then specify the printer name in the PrintParams object, like this:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();

pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;

pp.printerName=  "My B&W Printer";

this.print(pp);

pp.printerName = "My Color Printer";

this.print(pp);
