Pre-setting the number of copies in printer dialog

[Randy]

I am using code Telerik provided to immediately send a report to the printer in my MVC app. Of course, the printer dialog still appears. When it does, I'd like the number of copies set to 2 for a particular report. I tried the code below, hoping it would work, but it didn't. Do you know how to preset the number of copies when the printer dialog appears?

            var deviceInfo = new System.Collections.Hashtable();
            deviceInfo["JavaScript"] = "this.print({bUI: true, bSilent: false, bShrinkToFit: true, Copies: 2});";

Hello Randy,

According to the Acrobat DC SDK Documentation you can use NumCopies property of the PrintParams object to set the number of copies to be printed for this print job:

var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.DuplexType = pp.constants.duplexTypes.DuplexFlipShortEdge;
pp.NumCopies = 2;
this.print(pp);

You can check PrintParams properties (Acrobat DC SDK Documentation) for more detailed information.

I hope this will help.
