Printing a PDF file with Electron JS

Question

I am trying to create an Electron JS app that has the purpose to print letter size PDFs.

This is my snippet of code for printing:

win = new BrowserWindow         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is to render the PDF pages to individual canvas elements on a page using PDF.js and then call print.

I fixed this gist to use the PDF.js version (v1) it was designed for and its probably a good starting point.

This is essentially what the electron/chrome pdf viewer is doing but now you have full control over the layout!
