hi,

when you execute the application , the form will be opened in adobe reader services , there itself you will get the option of print button.

Hi,

you can use iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) to create your PDF.

As an example create a ActionButton in your view named ShowPDF and the related onActionShowPDF Method. You can Print/Save/Send via EMail etc..
