Java EE: Print pdf on the fly

In my web application (Java EE), I would like to print a pdf file generated on the server side on the fly in the client side without opening it. The files could be one or many. Is this possible?

You either need an additional Java library or to pass it to native code. There is a blog article with some suggestions at http://www.jpedal.org/PDFblog/2010/01/printing-pdf-files-from-java/

I think it is not possible, except if you require clients to install a special application first.

Not just Java EE, it would be the same with any server-side technology.
