[wxperl-users] printing a PDF from wxPerl

[Mike S. <Mik...@Do...>]

Not sure if this is an obvious question I am just missing or not, but....

We generate server-side PDFs and then pass them to wxPerl clients.  By 
default we just open them with the appropriate mime-type application on 
the client platform (so evince/xpdf on gtk, Preview on OSX, Acrobat on 
Win32). 

The issue now is if we can print without having to open first.  For 
Linux and OSX, worst case we can just do a system call to "lp 
filename.pdf" and everything is fine, but not sure how to print a PDF in 
Win32 without first opening it in Acrobat. 

I noticed that Mark Wardell has wrapped wxPdfDocument, and that the 
wxPdfDocument folks plan on providing a wxPdfDC (similar to 
wxPostscriptDC) for printing in their next release -- is that the way to 
go??

Thanks in advance for any insight/suggestions.

Mike.
