I've got a project where I'm needing to print the HTML page the user is on, as well as multiple PDF files (multiple prompts is OK)
After hunting around on Google and Stackoverflow I found Printing multiple PDF files using JavaScript which is close, but not quite working.
The code below prints the HTML page fine, and creates a print prompt for the PDF, but the PDF print prompt is for a blank page.
I've triple checked the example address and the fine is definitely at .pdf.
Anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?
function PrintAll(file1, file2, file3) {
window.print();
var pages = [file1, file2, file3];
for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
if (pages[i] != undefined) {
var oWindow = window.open(pages[i], "print");
oWindow.print();
oWindow.close();
}
}
}
$('.print-btn').click(function() {
PrintAll('/wp-content/uploads/Golden-China1.pdf');
});

- I think something is wrong with your parameters... – Ricardo Ortega Magaña Commented Mar 1, 2013 at 22:28
- Thanks for the feedback @RicardoOrtegaMagaña. Do you mean when they're being used in the jquery function at the bottom of the page, or in the creation of the PrintAll function? – Jamie Commented Mar 1, 2013 at 23:27

Reset to default 6I tested some code, and the problem i was getting with your code, is the timeload, added a delay so i let the PDF to plete load, then, send the print mand:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script>
var pages = ["P1.pdf", "P2.pdf", "P3.pdf"];
var oWindow=new Array();
function PrintAll(){
for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
oWindow[i].print();
oWindow[i].close();
}
}
function OpenAll() {
for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
oWindow[i] = window.open(pages[i]);
}
setTimeout("PrintAll()", 5000);
}
OpenAll();
</script>
</body>
</html>
