Print a pdf with javascript or jquery

Question

I need to print a .pdf file (I generate it with jasperReport and I save it on a server) when I click on a print.gif button. Now I found this solution that works for Firefox

Answer 1

Create a iframe in html:

<iframe id="pdf-iframe">

Then change the src of that iframe and on load, print it.

$('#pdf-iframe').attr("src", pdf_url).load(function(){
    document.getElementById('pdf-iframe').contentWindow.print();
});

Answer 2

I believe the Problem is that the content is not loaded yet? I had the same issue in IE8. I had to save the document, reopen it, print, and close the window again.
