Printing Current Page with JavaScript

You can execute a script to print a given page within a multiple page document with or without the Print dialog box opening.

To print a page from a button action without the print dialog box opening use the following code:

this.print (false, this.pageNum,
this.pageNum);

Note that false will keep the dialog box from opening and the item this.pageNum repeated twice in the statement will print only the current page in view. Any other pages in the file will not print.

To print the entire document without the print dialog box opening, use:

this.print (false);
