Hi,
I would like to preview a pdf document, in-browser if possible.

Right now my solution uses an iframe to preview it, then I send it to print using Javascript. This seems to work fine on chrome and safari (given they have already a previewer), but it won't work on other explorers (firefox, ie).

On other broswers, it prompts you to download the pdf, and when I try to print with JS it won't work because I use the iframe to do so.

javaikin,
I don't have an answer, but I am wondering whether you could share your PDF print javascript.
I am facing the same issue, but my print javascript doesn't seem to work on Chrome or firefox.

Thanks.

Sure, first you need display you pdf inside a control, for this i use a iframe, some like this:

<iframe id="idIFrame" name="iframeName" onCreate="pdfController.loadPDF(self);" width="800px" height="1200px" />

The controller only need do this:

Media m;// conde for create or load the pdf file
iframe.setContent(m);


With this, you can see a preview in your page, then with JS you can send to print the iframe with this:

<button_print xmlns:w="http://www.zkoss.org/2005/zk/client" w:onClick="iframeName.print();" />


I hope you find it useful

@javikin,
Thanks for sharing. I tried something very similar to your approach, and I even tried Object/Embed tags. The only difference was that I was using pure javascript and servlet. I'll try out yours.
