Hello chromium-dev,

I was able to build the chromium on windows finally :) So now I am trying to play around with print preview and this feature seems to be disabled in chromium build.

According to "Print Preview" [1] document, the chrome is shipping the PDF plugin along with chromium to leverage the preview feature... So is there a way to enable the same for chromium build?

Please correct me if I am wrong!

Thank you,

Vivek

Doing some more code searching, I figured out [1] so as to enable GOOGLE_CHROME_BUILD in order to make print preview enabled.

Thank you and apologies for the noise!

In a Chromium build, passing --enable-print-preview on the command line will also work.

You can drop in a pdf.dll from a Google Chrome build of similar
vintage and pass --enable-print-preview in your Chromium build, as
mentioned. You don't have to do a Chrome branded build.
