Actually PRINT (i.e. spool to a printer) a PDF stored in the DB as a BLOB

Simon GaddJun 23 2008 — edited Oct 3 2008

Hi Folks.

I have got APEX to generate PDF files for me based on a shared components query & report template. These are stored in the database as BLOB.

Is there a way to send these BLOB PDF files directly to a printer?

I don't want to have to export the files to the server file system and then have the user manually select them from there for printing. Ideally I want the users to select the documents for printing in the UI and these then get spooled to the printer.

If anyone has a suggestion/steer for me, I'd love to hear it.

Many thanks

Simon.
