PrintToPDF() supports pdf printing?

[ninad3d]

I am new to CEF. I want to print a pdf file using CEF.

I have tried printing pdf file using PrintToPDF() but it's not working for me, I am using CEF-79.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does PrintToPDF() supports pdf printing? if yes, in which CEF latest version it is supported?

Thanks in advance.

Do you want to display the print dialog, or not? If you want to display the dialog use CefBrowserHost::Print or window.print() JS code. If you want to print without dialog use CefBrowserHost::PrintToPDF. Note that there is currently a bug when using PrintToPDF with PDF files.

Any estimate in which release this issue (#2790) could be fixed?

If you are simply trying to save the file to disk then you can implement cefdownloadhandler and call CefBrowserHosr::StartDownload to save the file.

No, I don't want to use StartDownload as it goes from multiple steps.

It's a valid workaround and you may find it's your only option.

Thanks for the reply. As printToPDF() is not working for pdf files, I need to do a workaround of downloading it. if it is fixed, I will not have to download it.
that is the reason, we want to have this fixed.
