1 - You can change the javascript functions that are used in the viewer
to make the Dialog automatically submit, which will launch the windows
print dialog. Look in the webcontent\birt\ajax\ui\dialog direcotry and
open the BirtPrintReportDialog.js file. Call the okPres in the preShow
function as shown below.

__preShow: function()
{
// disable the toolbar buttons
birtUtility.setButtonsDisabled ( "toolbar", true );

// disable the Navigation Bar buttons
birtUtility.setButtonsDisabled ( "navigationBar", true );
this.__okPress();
}

2 - Not sure how you would do this.

3 - I have not tried this but in the afterClose event you could try
something like:

try{
importPackage(Packages.java.io);
f = new File(fileName);
f.delete();
} catch (e) {
//do nothing
}

What version are you using? I tried this with 3.7 and did not get any
error.

The file.delete seems to have an issue conflicting with the JavaScript
delete operator. You will either have to implement your delete
operation in a Java Event Handler or just write a class that deletes the
file and add it to the birt classpath and call it from your script.

For Java event handlers read over this:

Instead of modifying the viewer can you add a text element to the report
and set its type to html and enter the following:

<script language="JavaScript">
function wPrint()
{
birtEventDispatcher.broadcastEvent( birtEvent.__E_PRINT );

var pdfrad = document.getElementById("printAsPDF");
pdfrad.checked = true;
var btndv = document.getElementById("printReportDialogokButton");
var bnar=btndv.getElementsByTagName("input");
var btn = bnar[0];
btn.click();

}
function printDelay()
{
setTimeout("wPrint()", 1000);
}
printDelay();
</script>

I just tried this in 3.7 with the viewer deployed to tomcat and using
the frameset mapping and it worked fine. Are you using the /frameset
mapping?
