JavaScript library to print PDFs

Nutrient’s rendering engine can be used for high-fidelity PDF printing. It offers developers a robust API for programmatic printing, as well as a beautiful UI for viewing documents.

Quick start

Print an open PDF with a single API call:

// Print the current document.
instance.print();

Print without showing the viewer

NutrientViewer.load({
  document: "/path/to/document.pdf",
  headless: true
})
  .then((instance) => {
    instance.print();
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error("Failed to load document:", error.message);
  });

Key capabilities

• Auto print — Start printing when the PDF is opened
• Programmatic — Print without opening the PDF
• Input data types — Print from local file, Base64, blob, or URL
• Print with a watermark — Dynamically add when printing
• Annotations — Print with or without annotations
• Forms — Print form field values
• Extendable — Add form fill, annotation, editing, and more

Quick start

Trigger the browser print dialog with one API call:

const instance = await NutrientViewer.load({
  container: "#pspdfkit",
  document: "document.pdf",
});

// Print the entire document.
await instance.print();

// Or print with options.
await instance.print({
  mode: NutrientViewer.PrintMode.DOM,
  excludeAnnotations: false,
});
