Hi,I need to know how is it possible to print tiff files from attachments(i.e. without opening the attachments) from Lotus Notes documents.

Thanks and Regards,

Sayantan.

The default menus (for example right click on a tiff attachment) or buttons in the Attachment Properties dialog box, doesn’t have a Print option. I guess that this would be pretty to implement for Lotus, since most apps register the Print-verb in the registry. So, without programming, probably not.

If you choose to create some code, it should be fairly easy to extract the tiff attachment, and print it directly

Hi Sayantan,

You could do this using lotusscript.

Here is a guide to do this using Microsoft Document Imaging

-Just extract the attachment to a folder

-Create an object of Imaging (MODI.Document)

Set FileObj = CreateObject(“MODI.Document”)

-Open the tif file using .Create(Attachmentname)

FileObj.Create (strAttachmentName)

-Print the object using .PrintOut

Call FileObj.PrintOut(,1,PRINTER_NAME)

hope this helps.
