  How to Print documents in client system

  Jan 03, 2013 06:48 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I've documents (word, pdf) stored in asp.net website root directory, and the path of those documents are stored in db.

  I'm showing the links of the document as hyperlink in datagrid, now when a user clicks on the link the document must be printed in the client system.

  Can any one suggest me how to achieve this?

  Hi,

  You can achive this using below code. You have to add a javascript function. And call this function on click event of the link.

  function PrintFile(FilePath)

  {

    var fileObject = window.open(FilePath);
    fileObject.print();

  }

  Please mark this as answer if helps.

  Thanks,

  Anant

  Thanks for your reply.

  I sent the FilePath as "Documents/filename.pdf", but it does not do anything.

  Hi,

  Providing file path as  "Documents/filename.pdf" would not be give you the exact file path. You have to provide the relative path.

  Try providing like "~/Documents/filename.pdf". 

  I hope this would work.

  Hi,

  Try using Server.MapPath method. Make sure you are providing correct path.

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524632(v=vs.90).aspx

  This method maps the relative/absolute path to the physical path.
