The helper application will have a print icon or some way to print the PDF. Even if the PDF is seemingly rendered by the browser itself (as sometimes happens in IE), there is still a printer icon available. If you *aren't* displaying the PDF, but only generating it, there isn't really a way to do this without javascript or something similar. The PDF is on the server, but printing will be on the client/browser. Paul -- Paul M. Foster
