Open print dialog automatically when PDF is opened

[Elliot Fisher]

Hi there,

Has anyone figured out how to get the print dialog to auto-open when a wkhtmltopdf generated PDF file is opened? I'm using PDF-XChange Viewer and Javascript is enabled.

I've tried embedding the following code in the HTML: 

<script type="text/javascript">

    window.onload = function () {

        print();

    };

</script>

I've also set these switches:

--enable-javascript --javascript-delay 10000 --debug-javascript

Along with either: --run-script window.onload=function(){print();}; 

Or: --run-script print();

None of these things are working. Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Elliot

That has to run under the context of the PDF viewer's javascript
engine, and was already requested as an enhancement:

https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/1574

Unfortunately, it requires changes in the upstream Qt PDF generator --
hence not much progress since it was reported more than a year ago.
