Hi Imran, Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE is probably not what you want, it prints using the PDF’s built-in size, which may be bigger or smaller than your current printer settings allow. Depending on the configuration of the local printer driver and printer, the document can be too large or too small. Note that it is not just paper size which causes this, some printer drivers can configure margins or their own headers and footers which can reduce the printable area of the page.
SHRINK_TO_FIT is usually what you want, as it will shrink the image if it is too big for the current printer, so any image which is too big for the page will be scaled down. Don’t forget that the system’s print dialog is in control of things like the paper size and the margins, and PDFBox can only work within those bounds. -- John > On 20 Nov 2014, at 08:00, Imran Akbar <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi John, > > The new code had a huge impact on the alignment, previously the Footer was > not displaying after implementing it with pdfbox 2.0 the Header and footers > text are not getting displayed. > > I tried with the below code, still the results are same. > > PDFPrinter pdf = new PDFPrinter(this.document, Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, > Orientation.AUTO); > > One more thing i noticed, am loading the component as an applet i see the > behavior is different on each machine, in some machines i see all the > details gets printed but shrinked. and in some it stretches removing the > headers and footers. > > ~Imran > > On Thu, Nov 13, 2014 at 9:28 AM, John Hewson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Yes, we could do with an example, there are multiple ways in which you can >> use PDFPrinter, it’s pretty flexible.
