Printing Aras forms in 11SP15
Good morning all, I have an Aras form for non-conforming material that needs to be printed in order to travel with the bad part. I already have the separate form designed with view type=print, but i'...

Hi Paul,
interesting use case. Is it important for you that you exactly print the Form look&feel? I am not sure if you can really trigger your printer inside from Innovator.
One option to improve styling would be to pass your content to a report that you can then export to pdf. This one depends a little bit on the report services that are available in your system (SSRS, Self-Service, XSLT). But for 11SP15 XSLT reports don´t offer pdf print option.
Maybe you can also generate a dynamic techdoc and publish this one to pdf.

Hi Angela, thanks for the reply. No, getting the exact look and feel of the Aras form is not important. I need a 'printable version' of a form to print after a user promotes an item to a particular state. Right now, they'd have to promote it, then File/Printable View, open the PDF that Aras downloads, and print that manually. Hoping there's a better way.
I have a report server set up and use SSRS a lot already. It would improve the styling piece, but I was unsure how to tie the SSRS report generation & physical printing to the Aras item state change, without forcing the user to leave Aras and go to the Report Server.
