I have to run a batch file that is running a JasperStudio report. I only want to display the pdf of the report on the screen instead of printing it out. In the batch, there's only just /o command, because I deleted the /p. But it keeps printing.
My question is, is there any batch cmd that disable printing?
CodePudding user response：
It's not the batch itself that prints the document, it's the application you use to display the PDF.
Possible switches for Acrobat Reader are:
/n: Launch a new instance of Reader even if one is already open/s: Don't show the splash screen/o: Don't show the open file dialog/h: Open as a minimized window/p <filename>: Open and go straight to the print dialog/t <filename> <printername> <drivername> <portname>: Print the file the specified printer.
As you see, a print can also be done through /t parameter, but I suppose that there isn't a /t if a /p was present. You should try, manually in a command prompt, the call that open the PDF. You will see immediately if it prints the PDF or not - and it shouldn't.
So, the printing is done elsewhere. Can you post your batch in your question?
CodePudding user response：
Once you exported the document to the PDF format, you can visualize the PDF file using a dedicated PDF viewer only, such as Adobe Reader [ Or the system default MS EDGE or any other viewer]. The JasperViewer tool cannot be used to view PDF files.
When using windows since your tag is [batch-file]
You simply call the pdf filepath name without any batch file required to open it.
Thus calling
C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\Projects\downloads\report.pdf
will open that pdf in my default pdf handler (MS Edge) HOWEVER if I want it to open a set page It needs a more complex approach to start viewing at page 3 (other options are available)
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" file:///C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\Projects\downloads\report.pdf#page=3
If I wish to change that to Acrobat not Edge then I need to prefix the name. with the path to acrord32.exe
