(The input parameters are the same as the
command line parameters for Batch & Print Pro, see help for more information)
How this works
When you first open this demo page, the
Batch & Print Pro Active X component will first download
the example PDF document from http://www.traction-software.co.uk/downloads/test.pdf to the local drive in c:\temp\ folder.
The Active X component will then check to see if
Batch
& Print Pro is installed on your system by looking for the exe file in the
install path, if the exe exists then the Active X component will then tell
Batch & Print Pro to print the c:\temp\test.pdf file that it has just
download, if Batch & Print Pro
isn't installed it will download the silent installer exe package from http://www.traction-software.co.uk/downloads/batchprintproX.exe
and install Batch & Print Pro to the default install path, then the Active X
component will tell
Batch & Print Pro to print the test.pdf file.

Troubleshooting
When you get the screen above this is
because the Active X hasn't been signed by
http://www.Verisign.com , to do this costs money (approx $400 per year), the
Active X source code and signing code script is provided in the
source code download so you can veri sign it
under your organization name.
