Autoprint PDF script on php or javascript

Question

I want to build a page that will automatically print a pdf document. For example I can call mypage.html?doc=my.pdf and it will print my.pdf file.

How I can do it using javascript or php?

Answer 1

The closest you can get to what you want is to embed an iframe containing the PDF in an HTML page, then call window.print when the iframe has loaded.

...
<iframe src="path/to/file.pdf" onload="window.print()"></iframe>
...

This will open the standard print dialog on most browsers.
