Learned something cool today: Direct PDF printing from web apps! During a demo, a customer asked: “Can it silently print from the APEX application?” That’s usually tricky since browsers require user interaction for security reasons. The Challenge: POS and kiosk systems need silent printing Web apps usually rely on extensions or companion apps The Solution: Chrome Kiosk Mode + a simple JavaScript approach that: - Generates PDFs server-side (using ReportFactory here) - Prints directly without user interaction - No extensions or extra software required - Runs seamlessly in kiosk environments Sometimes the simplest solutions are right in front of us! The Chrome --kiosk-printing flag + smart JavaScript can solve what feels like a complex problem. Perfect for retail, manufacturing, or any environment where automated printing is critical. Check out the docs and try it yourself using our hosted demo! https://lnkd.in/g3ZMQfeY Maathra Technology and Consultancy Pvt Ltd Johnson Joseph #OracleAPEX #orclAPEX #maathra #reportfactory #printing
