Printing in Adobe AIR - Standalone PDF Generation

Tags:

Is it possible to generate PDF Documents in an Adobe AIR application without resorting to a round trip web service for generating the PDF? I've looked at the initial Flex Reports on GoogleCode but it requires a round trip for generating the actual PDF.

Given that AIR is supposed to be the Desktop end for RIAs is there a way to accomplish this? I suspect I am overlooking something but my searches through the documentation don't reveal too much and given the target for AIR I can't believe that it's just something they didn't include.

The file might have downloaded incorrectly or incompletely the first time. Use another printer. If your printer is on a wired or wireless network, print the PDF file from a non-networked printer. Move the PDF file to your computer's hard drive, and then print again.

There's AlivePDF, which is a PDF generation library for ActionScript that should work, it was made just for the situation you describe.

Just added a Adobe Air + Javascript + AlivePDF demo:

This demo doesn't require flex and is pretty straight forward.
