(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.

For testing purposes follow these steps:-

1. you need to add our website http://www.batch-print.com  to the safe list so the unsigned Active X can be downloaded, click on Internet Explorer Tools menu in internet explorer and select Internet Options...

2. Click on the Security Tab and click Trusted Sites, then click Sites... button
    Uncheck Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone checkbox
    Enter http://www.batch-print.com  in the add this web site to the zone: edit box like in the screen shot below, then click Add Button, then OK.
