Hello guys... I would like to ask if there is a way to print a pdf from an embed html tag? You see i have embeded the pdf using this code
<embed class='soa' width='650' height='815' id="plugin" name="plugin" src="myPDF.pdf" type="application/pdf" />

Now i would like to print that pdf using a button. is it possible using plain javascript? or do we need a server side script?

Well the embed form offers a print and save button but the problem is when the user clients computer doesnt have any acrobat reader installed. it means they will not have this button. so i want to provide a print button for them... but i dont know how to accomplish this... please help guys...

What button? where it would be? why do you need an external button? what's wrong with the associated button?
