PDF Printing

Print.js was primarily written to help us print PDF files directly within our apps, without leaving the interface, and no use of embeds. For unique situations where there is no need for users to open or download the PDF files, and instead, they just need to print them.

One scenario where this is useful, for example, is when users request to print reports that are generated on the server side. These reports are sent back as PDF files. There is no need to open these files before printing them. Print.js offers a quick way to print these files within our apps.

PDF files must be served from the same domain as your app is hosted under. Print.js uses iframe to load files before printing them, therefore, it is limited by the Same Origin Policy. This helps preventing Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Example

Add a button to print a PDF file located on your hosting server:


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS('docs/printjs.pdf')">
    Print PDF
 </button>

Result:

For large files, you can show a message to the user when loading files.


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({printable:'docs/xx_large_printjs.pdf', type:'pdf', showModal:true})">
    Print PDF with Message
 </button>

Result:

The library supports base64 PDF printing:


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({printable: base64, type: 'pdf', base64: true})">
    Print PDF with Message
 </button>

HTML Printing

Sometimes we just want to print selected parts of a HTML page, and that can be tricky. With Print.js, we can easily pass the id of the element that we want to print. The element can be of any tag, as long it has a unique id. The library will try to print it very close to how it looks on screen, and at the same time, it will create a printer friendly format for it.

Example

Add a print button to a HTML form:


 <form method="post" action="#" id="printJS-form">
    ...
 </form>

 <button type="button" onclick="printJS('printJS-form', 'html')">
    Print Form
 </button>

Result:

Print.js accepts an object with arguments. Let's print the form again, but now we will add a header to the page:


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({ printable: 'printJS-form', type: 'html', header: 'PrintJS - Form Element Selection' })">
    Print Form with Header
 </button>

Result:

Sakura Sakurada Squirt Tunnel (Limited · FULL REVIEW)

Title:

Exploring the Quirky World of Sakura Sakurada's Squirt Tunnel

Pro Tip for Visitors:

The best time for entertainment photography is the "Magic Hour" (sunset) before the lights inside flicker to life, creating a blue-orange gradient that looks cinematic.

7:00 PM - Dinner: Arrive at the Sakura Café for a gentle start to the evening. Eat slowly. Watch the locals.
8:30 PM - Golden Hour Walk: Walk through the tunnel while there is still a sliver of light. Listen to the echo of your footsteps.
9:00 PM - Tavern Break: Grab a highball at the Tunnel Tavern. Chat with the owner. They have the best local ghost stories (most of which are fake, but hilarious).
10:15 PM - The Challenge: When it is fully dark, walk back through the tunnel with your flashlight off (safety first: keep it in your hand just in case of cars).
11:00 PM - The Reward: Midnight Ramen. Swap stories with other groups who just finished their walks.

A top viewing spot where you can paddle a boat through a "water tunnel" of cherry blossoms hanging over the moat. It is especially popular for night viewing ( yozakura ) when the trees are illuminated. OpenTaito City, Tokyo, Japan

The lifestyle associated with this keyword is often defined by a "shaved" or "industrial" look, which Sakurada helped popularize in an industry that previously favored natural styles.

JSON Printing

A simple and quick way to print dynamic data or array of javascript objects.

Example

We have the following data set in our javascript code. This would probably come from an AJAX call to a server API:


 someJSONdata = [
    {
       name: 'John Doe',
       email: 'john@doe.com',
       phone: '111-111-1111'
    },
    {
       name: 'Barry Allen',
       email: 'barry@flash.com',
       phone: '222-222-2222'
    },
    {
       name: 'Cool Dude',
       email: 'cool@dude.com',
       phone: '333-333-3333'
    }
 ]

We can pass it to Print.js:


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({printable: someJSONdata, properties: ['name', 'email', 'phone'], type: 'json'})">
    Print JSON Data
 </button>

Result:

We can style the data grid by passing some custom css: sakura sakurada squirt tunnel


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({
	    printable: someJSONdata,
	    properties: ['name', 'email', 'phone'],
	    type: 'json',
	    gridHeaderStyle: 'color: red;  border: 2px solid #3971A5;',
	    gridStyle: 'border: 2px solid #3971A5;'
	})">
    Print JSON Data
 </button>

Result:

We can customize the table header text sending an object array Title: Exploring the Quirky World of Sakura Sakurada's


 <button type="button" onclick="printJS({
	    printable: someJSONdata,
	    properties: [
		{ field: 'name', displayName: 'Full Name'},
		{ field: 'email', displayName: 'E-mail'},
		{ field: 'phone', displayName: 'Phone'}
	    ],
	    type: 'json'
        })">
    Print with custom table header text
 </button>

Result:

JSON, HTML and Image print can receive a raw HTML header: 7:00 PM - Dinner: Arrive at the Sakura


<button type="button" onclick="printJS({
		printable: someJSONdata,
		type: 'json',
		properties: ['name', 'email', 'phone'],
		header: '<h3 class="custom-h3">My custom header</h3>',
		style: '.custom-h3 { color: red; }'
	  })">
	Print header raw html
</button>
