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'm looking for documentation on additional configuration options, such as:

1. The Printable View action (File/Printable View, Toolbar Print icon) displays a preview popup window and then downloads a PDF. Is this the only option? Can I send the print job to my default printer instead?

2. The Printable View appears to be oriented in Landscape regardless of the dimensions I set on the form. When I print the PDF (even with my printer set to Portrait), the form prints in Landscape. Is there a way to change this?

3. Is there a way to call an item form to be printed programmatically?

Thanks,

Paul S

    Thanks for the tip. I will look into rendering an SSRS report from Aras and sending it to a printer. It will take a decent amount of development though.

    Back to my original questions, any thoughts on #2 and #3?

    If I can get Aras to generate the PDF in portrait instead of landscape, I can have them print the PDFs manually. This would be a better Phase 1 approach, and look at the SSRS rendering method as a Phase 2.

    Being able to have Aras programmatically open the 'printable view' form (and save the PDF locally) seems very doable, but Support does not have any sample documentation on how to do this.

    Thanks,
