I have a parent HTML page that contains an IFrame whose source is a PDF document. In the parent page, I use JavaScript to print the contents of the IFrame (the PDF document) and it no longer works. This worked fine previous to version 4.

Does anyone have a work around to this?

This is still an issue in Firefox 4.0.1.

Anyone found a work around yet? Where can I officially report this to Mozilla?

Do you have test case set up or a live web page where we can check that out?

Here is an example of what I am trying to do which worked in earlier versions of Firefox and still works in Chrome. Any ideas on getting the print to work?


<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="PDFPrintTest.aspx.cs" Inherits="MozillaTestApp.PDFPrintTest" %>

<title></title>

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<iframe runat="server" id="pdf" name="pdf" style="width:100px; height:100px;" src="PDF/ThePDF.pdf"></iframe> <asp:Button ID="printButton" runat="server" Text="Print" OnClientClick="PrintOnload();return false;" />
</form> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function PrintOnload() { if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") { } else { PrintPDF_FF(); } } function PrintPDF_FF() { window.frames['pdf'].focus(); window.frames['pdf'].print(); } </script>

I have same issue for printing embedded PDF files in iFrames via JavaScript in Firefox 5.0.

In previous versions it was working fine. But not in Firefox 4.0/5.0.

Is there any solution for this problem?
