I developed a commercial application for a client in Adobe
AIR about 3 months ago. Now my client wants to add a printing
feature. The problem is it requires multi-page printing based on
the number of rows in a SQLite table.
BUT I FOUND OUT TO MY AMAZEMENT that I'm limited to less than 3K vertical pixels (or about less than 3 or 4 pages of printout, depending on the vertical size of the page in the set)!
I was really dumbfounded (AND EMBARRASSED WITH MY CLIENT) to see this rather fundamental shortcoming in Adobe AIR. It is supposed to revolutionize desktop application development, but AIR's lack of such an important printing support as multi-page printing is really very disappointing.
Most desktop applications require and are expected to provide multi-page printing. I hope the members of the AIR development team are listening to this well-justified criticism and will roll up their sleeves and work on it!
Thanks!
