i have the follwing problem:

we get data via XML-File (data64 - base64)
this is a pdf-file.

The problem now is how can i print this pdf-file from navision to a windows printer?

is this possible with direct printer ocx?

    Direct printer ocx is simple library which will send the data directly to the printer. It means, you can send esc sequences or another printer language to print. If you will send only the XML file, it will be printed as plain text.

    I am not sure it would work with a PDF file. For PDF-s, it's Acrobat Reader that does the printing. I suggest to Google around whether Acrobat has an OCX you can use for PDF printing.
    Do It Yourself is they key. Standard code might work - your code surely works.

    \:D/ after encoding the base64 data you can print the pdf-file with tools from: www.pdf-tools.com
