B4J Question [ABMaterial] ABMPDFViewer print issue

[Harris]

Printing from the PDFViewer and the default dialog presented produces a very blurry printed output. It is like it is printing a saved image - rather than rendering the pdf. It certainly does not look this way in the viewer.

If you download the report and print it from the Adobe viewer - everything looks just great!

Weird beans....

Thanks

Do you get the same with the one one abmaterial.com when you print it?

I think this object uses jspdf, and that is about the best pdf render for javascript that there is.

And in which browser?

It is Chrome browser (Version 65.0.3325.146 (Official Build) (64-bit)) .
I printed from ABM.com - directly from the viewer and the pages from your example are all fuzzy on my HP Color LaserJet CP4025 printer (heavy duty).

Then I download from the ABM.com viewer - it opens the 1.pdf in the chrome browser. I then print from here (using Windows dialog) and it prints pixel perfect.
These reports are generated by NextReports (print to PDF selected)...

Now, I open my app on another PC - browser. I select one of my reports and print it to another printer (HP CP2025 - light duty). The output IS pixel perfect!!!
The same report on my PC produces fuzzy image to the CP4025 industrial...

So, in conclusion.... don't use a crappy CP4025 industrial printer for your hard copy needs - using the PDFViewer - print direct feature! Download a copy first - then print it from what ever other renderer comes up (Chrome / Adobe / etc). son of a beocth....

Thanks for taking the time to listen to me wine...

It still begs this question - why it would print well when downloaded and on to the same printer?

1) Does the computer that was able to print good to the CP2025 have access to the CP4025? If so, could try printing to the CP4025 from that computer and see what happens. If it prints good, it's your computer, if not, it's an issue with the printer/Chrome.

t is Chrome browser (Version 65.0.3325.146 (Official Build) (64-bit)) .

You could also try a different browser. If that browser prints correct, it's Chrome, if not, it's more of a system issue/printer issue.
