How to open print dialog after pdf generated?

Question

I wrote some actions which generates dynamically PDF files. something like: reports/reportGenerator.action

when I call reports/reportGenerator?param=dialy

Answer 1

The solution is simple, add property to your jrxml file by clicking right on your jrxml in the iReport designer and press properties then press add :

Property name

net.sf.jasperreports.export.pdf.javascript

Property value

this.print({bUI: true,bSilent: true,bShrinkToFit: false});

This property will print automatically in the client side, I'd add it and it work perfectly.

Answer 2

Add this script in your loadView blade file (PDF blade file)

<script type="text/javascript"> try { this.print(); } catch (e) { window.onload = window.print; } </script>

Answer 3

Thanks to Alex K I found the answer:

according to JRPdfExporterParameter.html#PDF_JAVASCRIPT

you can use PDF_JAVASCRIPT property to add javascript to the pdf when you generate it.

so I added

JRPdfExporter exporter = new  JRPdfExporter();
exporter.setParameter(JRPdfExporterParameter.PDF_JAVASCRIPT, "this.print();");

when exporting PDF and it worked
