Silently print PDFs on the browser

If your web application needs to print PDF's silently on the browser, then check out this blog.Of all options given, I found the iText trick the simplest to use. The concept is quite simple:- Create a PDF on the fly using iText- Embed Acrobat Javascript into the PDF that would print it automatically to the default printer.- Open the PDF document in a iFrame that is hidden (size 0*0)A live example can be found here.
