PHP - Capturing the moment of print?

[Famous Graham]

Lol...googled for "onafterprint firefox" to see if there was an equivalent and guess what I found, from 2007

Thinking a bit laterally...are all the docs going to be PDF now? And can you enforce the use of Acrobat whichever-version-you-could-embed-JS-from or newer?

Wow this is some conundrum - I spy a 3 year old post from someone who sounds familiar http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&a...

They've lost my user

That embedded js might come in very handy, I'll have a look when I'm back in the office

Well JS led me to the Adobe JS API which has just led me to this:

{{{

function Print() {
print();
this.getURL('llogit.php?RecordNo=$RecordNo&DBForLogit=db04',false);
}

}}}

Which works! OK, it's only attached to a print button at the moment but I'm sure a PDF has a print event to tie it to

I'm pretty sure there's a handler for executing code irrespective of how it was printed.

You might have already found this, but just in case :

There's a bit on page 81 that looks useful to you as well (given what I've understood about the process so far), in reference to silent printing.

I'm up to my neck in the API at the moment and it appears that the DidPrint may not trigger with a document created on the fly

Every route I head down seems to have a roadblock after about two days
