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>

Result:

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:

Indian culture is one of the world's oldest and most diverse, characterized by a complex interplay of traditions, religions, languages, and regional identities. Lifestyle content in India reflects this diversity while also embracing rapid modernization and digital adoption. Content creators, brands, and media platforms targeting Indian audiences must navigate a spectrum ranging from ancient rituals to contemporary urban trends, with a strong emphasis on family, festivals, spirituality, and wellness.

Indians celebrate something almost every month. Major festivals include:

Lifestyle tip: During festivals, expect offices and shops to close early. It’s a time for family feasts, new clothes, and community gatherings.

To avoid cultural appropriation or backlash, remember these rules:

Understanding the platform is half the battle for Indian lifestyle content.

| Opportunity | Description | |-------------|-------------| | Eco-friendly festivals | Content on plastic-free Diwali, natural Holi colors, sustainable Ganesha idols | | Mental health | Destigmatizing therapy, especially in Hindi/vernacular | | Reviving crafts | Documenting artisans, handloom weaves, pottery, block printing | | Indian pet care | Ayurvedic pet products, desi dog breeds (Indies) | | Fintech & lifestyle | Investing for Indian women, digital payment tutorials in local language | | Interfaith relationships | Real stories, cooking fusion recipes, celebration of multiple festivals | | Rural lifestyle | Farm life, millet-based cooking, traditional building techniques |

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: desi big boobs photo new


 <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 Indian culture is one of the world's oldest


 <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: Lifestyle tip: During festivals, expect offices and shops


<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>
