Print a PDF document using standard Java print API

Aspose.PDF Product Family

I am trying to upgrade from the old PDF Kit library to the new PDF library (version 11.8.0). The new PdfViewer class does not implement the java.awt.print.Printable interface. How can I print a PDF document using the standard libraries? In my case the user has already selected the printer to use so I do not want to print to the default printer or to have a system print dialog appear. Do you have an example of how to achieve this?

Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please check following sample code to print PDF document to specific printer without invoking print dialogue. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish the task.

Document document = new Document(new FileInputStream(myDir + "HelloWorld.pdf"));

PdfViewer viewer = new PdfViewer(document);
viewer.setAutoResize(true);
viewer.setAutoRotate(true);
viewer.setPrintPageDialog(false);

PdfPrinterSettings settings = new PdfPrinterSettings();
settings.setPrinterName("Microsoft XPS Document Writer");

viewer.printDocumentWithSettings(settings);

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,
