This class can be used to alter a PDF document to make it print when opened.

It can open a given PDF file and regenerate it inserting special JavaScript code to make it open the print dialog when it is opened.

The altered PDF file may be saved to a given file or displayed as the current script output.

Prize: One downloadable copy of PhpED Professional		 PDF is a format often used as a means to generate documents to be printed on paper of specific dimensions.

When a site serves a PDF document, the browser may open it but usually it is up to the user to tell explicitly the viewer program to print it.

This class provides a more user friendly solution for this problem by altering PDF documents in such way that they contain JavaScript code that makes the viewer program open the print dialog when the document is opened.
