Print Preview vs. Printing

If you read the post I linked it explains what Epicor does when it Prints and what it does when you Print Preview it does 2 seperate things. So when you “Print Preview” to the redirect, you are actually Printing to the Redirect and it just happens that it Prints to a PDF (it feels like a Print Preview, but its actually a Print → Open PDF) – Epicor executes the same logic a regular “Print” would.

I get 2 different results when I:

  1. Print Preview
  2. Select Client Printer and Print to “Adobe PDF” or “Microsoft PDF” or “FoxIT PDF” or “SnagIt”, they all open the PDF as a Preview after the action, but ultimately the path chosen by Epicor was “Print” not Print Preview. Epicor executes the Print Logic using https://www.pdfprinting.net/ while the Preview is just pure SSRS.
