Print PDF plugin for Cordova / PhoneGap

This plugin brings up a native overlay to print a PDF document using AirPrint for iOS and Android Printing APIs on Android devices running 4.4 (API 19) or later. For Android devices running 4.3 or less, it will open a Google Cloud Print dialog.

Usage

print(options)

Use the print function to print an encoded document via a native printing interface.

window.plugins.PrintPDF.print(options);

The default options object

var options = {

    data: null, 				// content, either base64 string or file uri (required)
                                // (omit "data:application/pdf;base64," part from base64 string) 

    type: 'Data',				// type of content, use either 'Data' or 'File'

    title: 'Print Document', 	// title of document

    dialogX: -1,				// if a dialog coord is not set, it defaults to -1.
                                // the iOS method will fall back to center if it gets
    dialogY: -1,				// a dialog coord less than 0. (iPad only)

    success: null,				// success callback function, argument is a json string.
                                // parsed json format:
                                // {success: true}

    error: null					// error callback function, argument is a json string.
                                // parsed json format:
                                // {success: [boolean], available: [boolean], error: [string], dismissed: [boolean]}

};

Example:

var encodedString = 'base64encodedStringHere';
window.plugins.PrintPDF.print({
    data: encodedString,
    type: 'Data',
    title: 'Print Document',
    success: function(){
        console.log('success');
    },
    error: function(data){
        data = JSON.parse(data);
        console.log('failed: ' + data.error);
    }
});

dismiss()

Use the dismiss function to programmatically dismiss the print dialog (iOS only). There are no options that can be passed in. When the dialog is dismissed it will trigger the error callback that was set for the print() function with the dismissed parameter set to true.

window.plugins.PrintPDF.dismiss();

isPrintingAvailable(callback)

Use the isPrintingAvailable function to check if native printing is supported and available.

window.plugins.PrintPDF.isPrintingAvailable(callback);

Example:

window.plugins.PrintPDF.isPrintingAvailable( function(isAvailable) {
    console.log('printing is available: '+ isAvailable);
});
