Change PrintOptions in PdfViewer (Header/Footer)

[Matthias Wagner]

Hi.

we just noticed that if we print a pdf document, there is a header- and a footerrow included.

I guess its just some option to deactivate this, but unfortunately i cant find it.

Could you please tell me how to switch off the header- and footerrow, when printing a pdfdocument?

I attached my sample project.

Thanks

Matthias

Hi Matthias, 

Thank you for your patience. 

We are unable to reproduce the reported issue with the sample which you have provided. Please find the below screenshot for reference. 

 

Also we are using the browser default printer settings to the print the PDF document from PDF Viewer. Can you please try removing the header/footer in your browser settings and print the document. If you still have concerns, please revert us with browser details, version and browser settings. These details will be helpful for us to investigate further and assist you better.

Hi Akshaya,

thanks for your response.

Removing the header/footer-option in my browser settings manually is working and the pdf is printed correctly.

But unfortunately we cant demand from our customers, to change their settings manually.

Is there a possibility to set the header/footer-option of the browser print settings when pressing the print-button in the pdfviewer?

This should work for Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge.

For example it is possible to remove the header and footer with javascript if you print in the browser with following code.

@page  
{ 
    size: auto;   /* auto is the initial value */ 

    /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */ 
    margin: 25mm 25mm 25mm 25mm;  
} 

body  
{ 
    /* this affects the margin on the content before sending to printer */ 
    margin: 0px;  
} 

But this doesnt work with the Syncfusion pdfviewer.

Thanks for your help.

Matthias

Hi Matthias , 

Thank your for your patience  

We have tried to remove the header and footer by using the CSS property,but still the header and footer is displayed. So we have reported issue in the Chromium forum and we will let you know once we got the update from them. We appreciate your patience until then.

Any updates to this issue or another way to fix it?

Hi Goran,

It is not feasible to completely control the browser's default print headers and footers through code alone. This limitation arises because the browser manages headers and footers in print settings, and typically does not provide programmatic access to these elements due to concerns regarding security, privacy, and standardization.
