Btw, the direct URL for the bug in JBS is:
Simple fix to add a .gitignore file to the upstream HG
openjfx/jfx-dev/rt directory. This file currently exists as a

Damn ... Thank you for your reply and for the ticket submitted.

9+ would kill me :) All the invoices are generated automatically through
pdf printer (I tried few free pdf libraries as an alternative, but for what

Hello,
as the normal submission process did not yield an update for the above
mentioned issue and this is a crasher, I try to get the information
submitted here.
As reference the JDK issue:
https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8223377
Summary:
I experimented with OpenJFX
For windows print through "Microsoft Print to PDF", there is no way right
now to pre-define a path programmatically. There is no way to set inside
the printReqAttrSet (J2DPrinterJob), an attribute of type Destination, to
solve this issue.
Before jdk 9, I was bypassing it through reflection like
Everything you are touching there pre-supposes knowledge
of today's implementation of the JavaFX printing API, so
I don't think we can endorse that.
The right thing to do (maybe years ago!) is to file
an RFE to request that something like the Destination attribute
be supported in the FX printing
