Silent printing through Java/ JSP

R

ruds

Hi,
Actually I want to send files stored at a specific location to a pdf
converter in the background.
I have a web application where a team meber has uploaded some files
(.doc, .xls, jpg, etc.) and later the manager approves the work done.
When he approves the work, the files for that job need to be converted
to pdf and stored at the same location.
I have downloaded a free pdf converter, which can be seen in the
printer list.
I want to do is in the background.
What print command should I use do to this?
I have searched a lot on google but still I did'nt get the required
answer.

Thanks.

Since you asked that in a newsgroup with discussions about
Java you might look for how to use the Java Printing Framework.
The way how to use it depends a bit on the Java Version you
use, but with that (and a separate thread) you can "print"
the data in the background.
