krex10 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hey guys, I am not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes: I saved a bunch of pdf files in a MEDIUMBLOB format in a database, and now I want to be able to open/read them and trigger a Print Dialog to print them by simply clicking a link. Is that possible? Thanks in advance Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/236263-pdf-files-in-mysql/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

krex10 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hey thanks for the reply But I don't understand how sending the file inline helps me send it straight to the print dialog? Also does inline mean the document opens in the browser?
