Print pdf from iframe
Question
I dynamically create a pdf in a iframe:
<iframe name="output" id="output"></iframe>
and try to print from it:
window.frames["output"].focus();
window.frames["output"].print();
But how you can see in this example:
It prints a blank site.

It prints blank page because you're printing the iframe itself. Here is what you should do:
1. The iframe should contain EMBED tag which will load the PDF (for some reason stack overflow did not formatted code well, please see paste bin link below):
< embed src="path_to_script_which_generates.pdf" type="application/pdf" id="pdf"
width="100%" height="100%">
< /embed>
2. Then you should call the EMBED object to print the document. But since it may require some time for it to load you would need a timeout:
var doPrinting = (id){
var pdfObject = document.getElementById(id);
if (typeof(pdfObject.print) === 'undefined') {
setTimeout(function(){ doPrinting(id); }, 1000);
} else {
pdfObject.print();
}
}
doPrinting('pdf');
Here is paste bin of the above: http://pastebin.com/s6qSTE8t
