just put the stuff u want printed in a movieclip and then tell that
movieclip to 'print', there are examples in the flash help.


>can people download the flash file to their hard drive ?

any flash file that is viewed can be found in the cache, (temp.internet
files). Or you could just do a getURL that points to a zipped swf file on
the server.

I dont know much about acrobat, but i dont think it works very well if the
user doesnt have the plugin. Mybe i wasnt setting it up properly, but when i
did use PDFs, if the user didnt have the plugin the file ended up being
opened in word and appeared as a load of code.
