Hi,
I have a process generating a pdf file and is stored in a Documents folder.
How can a specific user print out the pdf file.
Is there any 'print' functionality in Appian?
any ideas how to go forward on this is appreciable.
Thanks
Rohini

I generally agree with the other posters.Printing is handled by the workstation, not Appian.
However, the Document Viewer component might simulate the behavior you're hoping to achieve.
On my local windows machine, when I display PDFs in the document viewer component, It displays a print control that appears to interact with the printing capabilities of the machine.
As is mentioned in the notes for the document viewer component:
Document viewing behavior differs depending on the document type and browser. Some browsers may render documents inline, while other browsers or file types may be downloaded. Browser plug-ins or extensions may impact this behavior. Consider the browsers that your users will be using to access your application.
Thus it's possible that this only works this way for me because of the plugins and software I have installed on my PC.You'll need to test to your satisfaction to ensure this approach is suitable in your environment.
