<embed width="100%" height="100%" src="filename.pdf" type="application/pdf">
I can embed a PDF file into a web page using the simple code above. But when I go to print the web page (using CTRL+P), only half the PDF appears on the print preview as it has been off-centred. The same happens on this web page: http://pdfobject.com/examples/simplest-full-window.html.
Here is an example of a 'Print Version' web page where the embedded PDF centres when it is printed (CTRL+P): http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/our_paella_92328.pdf. This example is also responsive, which is useful as the print appearance remains consistent no matter the size of the browser window.
Firstly how do I centre the embedded PDF upon printing? Secondly, how do I make the embedded PDF responsive?
When you want to print an embedded PDF, you must use the print command from the PDF plugin, not the print command from the web browser.
In the first example the Javascript code loads the PDF plugin and replaces the HTML document with the PDF document. If you hit CTRL+P then the print dialog from Internet Explorer is shown. If you click into the PDF plugin then press CTRL+P, then the print dialog from Adobe PDF plugin is shown.
In second example you open directly the PDF file. In this case the PDF plugin is loaded and activated automatically. No need to click in it. Pressing CTRL+P brings its own print dialog.

I had tried to copy the whole document(which is in pdf format) to notepad and word but now I want to move at some specific page of document let say 3 and I want to store the content only of that page to the clipboard. Is there any way to do that?
Till all I know is how to store the whole document in the clipboard.
program acrord32
keyboard ⋘ALT⋙⋘DOWN⋙⋘3⋙
keyboard ⋘CTRL+A⋙⋘CTRL+C⋙
♥doc1 = ♥clipboard
Using keyboard CTRL+A in Adobe Acrobat always select ALL text in WHOLE ALL pages.
But there are other options.
This option is available in NOT FREE version in example "Acrobat Standard DC" or "Acrobat Pro DC". Unfortunatelly these versions are paid applications. In these version has function named "Extract pages" and you can specify that each page as separate file. After extraction you have any file with once page and you can using CTR+A :)
But we have alternative option by using google chrome. Open PDF file in google chrome and send file to print with change printer as "Save as PDF". There you can specify page as new file PDF.
I have an MVC app where the intention is for the the user to click Print, and in the subsequent print dialog, verify the target printer, number of copies, etc, and click Print. I'm rendering the PDF document and returning the document thusly:
return File(printJob.Bytes, "application/pdf");
This displays the document quite nicely in the browser. In both Chrome and Edge, when the user clicks Print, they get a preview of the page in the print dialog. So the user experience is they click Print, see a preview, click print, see a preview again and then click print. Does anyone know if it's possible to render the PDF document without displaying it in the browser and instead just present the user with the print dialog box?
Thx in advance!
When you return the PDF from your website, the browser is then acting as a PDF viewer instead of a web browser, so you need to get the PDF to request the print dialog on open, not the website.
You can achieve this by adding the document javascript this.print(true) into the PDF that you are generating.
You can test this in Adobe Acrobat by going to Javascript -> Edit All Javascripts and just pasting this.print(true) at the top outside of any named function.
Tested and working on Chrome, as soon as you open the PDF it displays the print dialog.
Acrobat Javascript Reference is here, the reference to the print function is on page 179.
I have embedded a pdf object in a webpage. When I print this page, the embedded object does not show in the printout. The only way to print the pdf is to use the print function of the plugin, however I need to add some headers to the pdf document that is on the top of the web page. Is there a way to achieve this?
I have looked for weeks and I keep hitting dead ends. I know you can create a text or image link and tell it to "print page" in a browser. But so far, I can't get it to print a document, specifically a pdf. I would like the print dialog to show after the link is clicked and yes, the pdf linked to has been printed.
Why does this seem to be such an impossible feat? I have seen it work in a Flash movie, but since I cannot access the native file I cannot see how it was done.
Any advice?
Thanks.
Many of today's printers support direct PDF printing. Lexmark, HP, Xerox to name a few all have this on most of the 'business' printers. On these devices simply sending the PDF file directly to the device over LPR, port 9100, or some other mechanism will result in a printed document. Some devices even support URLs. I do know that Lexmark had some devices that a URL could be sent to the printer as as long as it had access to the URL it would pull the document and print. In this case it supported basic HTML, JPEG, TIF, and PDF.
Hope this helps.
A PDF must be rendered as an image before it can be printed. Usually when you're printing a PDF file on your desktop you could simply right-click on the file and select Print and if you have Adobe Reader or an alternative application set as your default PDF viewer, then the PDF that you have selected will be opened automatically -- at this stage the PDF is rendered as an image -- and then the printing process will begin.
But if there is no access to a PDF viewer that can render the PDF and then print it, then you won't be able to print the PDF. Usually if you have Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, etc, installed then when you click on a URL to a PDF then the PDF will open within the PDF viewer within the browser and you will be able to print it.
Alternatively, you could find a PDF SDK that silently renders a PDF as an image and then sends that to the printer, without the need to have a PDF viewer installed on your machine.
I want to open a PDF-print dialog (not regular browser dialog) without visually opening the document so that I can print a pdf without having the header and footer information from a regular webpage print.
I know this is possible, because I have seen it in the past on a postal service website for printing postage labels, but cannot remember where.
As far as I know, printing it from an iframe doesnt work, as it only opens regular browser print dialog and gives me ugly page and url information:
frames['name'].focus();
frames['name'].print();
I found this:
http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script36.php
I embedded that in an invisible iframe. It prints onload, and the PDF stays invisible.
