Print PDF headless chrome in a java program

[balaku...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

How to print pdf in selenium headless chrome driver in a java program? There are few examples by using "--print-to-pdf" option. 

But this isn't working in a java program, could someone help me in this?

Thanks in advance! ~Balakumar

I guess there is no print to pdf method you can call from Chromedriver, you may need to ask for the chromedriver people to add a new method for the pdf case.

Another option is: let your program run chrome with --headless --print-to-pdf=/path/to/your/file, it should output the pdf file and exit chrome after doing that. 

Note that --print-to-pdf uses default printing settings that you can't change.

Hi,

Ok, I saw few examples to make this work in Mac OS like shown in this link: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome

But could some one show me how to make this work in windows, I tried with a .bat file in windows like following didn't work.

SET "chrome=C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"

%chrome% --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf="C:\Users\bseethap\Desktop\temp" https://www.chromestatus.com/

PAUSE

thanks for your help in advance!

Regards,

Balakumar
