Chrome Blank PDF Print Preview

Question

Looks like print preview for some embed pdf files "application/x-google-chrome-pdf" is not working anymore. Open this pdf file in Chrome version 59.x and try printing it. I have Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.20 installed on my system. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

Answer 1

For me the incompatibility issue with chrome 59 seems to be because of the javascript we are injecting to the PDF using QuickPDF library (PageJavaScriptAction). The JS code is:

try{
   print( {bUI: true, bShrinkToFit: true});
} catch(e){
    try{
       print({bUI: true, bShrinkToFit: true});
    } catch(e1){app.alert(e + ',' + e1);}
}

After removing this code, the preview seems to be working fine again similar to the older versions of chrome.

Answer 2

Please refer to this post. Basically you will need to delay before print if it is chrome. Kudos to the original post.

1. Ctrl+a and Ctrl+p will work.

2. Select the data you want to get print preview and right click and select the print option.
