Hi Dmitry,

Export to PDF and print to PDF are two ways how to create PDF output.

If you use XFRX, then you call XFRX Preview and your user can choose export to PDF or print to some printer. You can set default output/printer for both cases.

And the key is that I don't want to have two button - that is to take two columns - one for print, one for preview. In my initial test, I do the preview by using the doPDF driver installed on my PC. So, by choosing this driver, I can view without printing. But I do not want to "force" the customer to install a doPDF or some other driver that allows to convert a print to a PDF.
