I am familiar with the data grid in the UWP plat form. we tried to provide the support for printing the results in sheets. we have faced the hurdles while we print the content. In the print preview panel the content looks like blurry to the view, but in the printed sheet the contents look like normal. could your share your ideas to resolve this.
Thanks in advance for your updates.
It seems it is by design.
In UWP, we use the PrintManager to inform Windows that an application wishes to participate in printing.
When we run the ShowPrintUIAsync() method, it will run the "PrintDialog.exe" that the print Preview page will be shown.
We can use the "Inspect" to test the content of the print Preview page. From the following image, we can see the content is a Image control that render by the XAML.
For the performance, it does not render as clear as the printting result. We can not change that.
If you do want this feature, you are welcome to ask on UserVoice.

Ok so I have this template receipt file that I'm working on. I use this code to display an image on the webpage preview of the receipt:
<div class="barcode"><img class="barcode" src='https://www.example.com/?wc_barcode={{meta_data.[1].[value]}}'/></br>{{meta_data.[1].[value]}}</div>
What the image link ends up looking like in html on the preview page is:
https://www.example.com/?wc_barcode=6094644a91bc7
When you try to download the image it's an unnamed .png. It does not exist on my server and is generated by the link on the fly. It's Woocommerce Order Barcodes plugin from Woocommerce. Either way, the image shows perfectly fine in the preview but when I go to print the receipt the image disappears. Can someone help me understand what might be going on and what to do about it.
Not exactly sure what was done, but the developer customized the plugin to work the way I was using it so if someone else tries to use it like I am they will not have a problem either as the plugin is specifically designed to be embedded into different files and templates.
The Plugin is called Digital Barcodes by UKRSolution. Figured since they provided such great support and even extended plugin functionality due to not seeing someone using it in the manner I was, that I would let anyone interested or looking for this type of solution know.
Short Version:
I am using Chrome 27.0.1453.94 on Windows 7 Pro
I go to http://www.try-phpbb.com/30x/ using Chrome
I select Print... | Save as PDF
The print preview looks nothing like the web page - layout, links, fonts all wrong.
Why?
How can I fix this to make the PDF styled the same way as the web site?
Long Version:
I am a member of a secure forum (ie have to log in for access), which is base on the phpBB forum template (https://www.phpbb.com/). Our forum will be cleared of all threads and posts soon to make room for the next round of subscribers.
We have been given permission (even encouraged) by the moderators to download the contents of each topic/thread/post and write them into PDF files so we can keep referencing them in the future. We have to do this ourselves, and I volunteered to do the work as I have an IT background. But its proving harder than I thought.
I was hoping to do the following this process...
Download and add "Stylish" Chrome Extension
(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe)
Add CSS code to Stylish to modify the appearance of the forum pages ready for PDF migration
In Chrome use Print | Save as PDF option to save styled page as a PDF doc
For multi-page forums, repeat this process for each page and then use PDFMate (or similar) to concatenate the PDF docs together into a single long PDF.
Steps 1, 2 and 4 are working perfectly, but step 3 is not.
The print preview in Chrome screws up the appearance of the forum pages. Layout styling is lost, fonts are completely different, links are missing or look terrible. For example, try printing this page (http://www.try-phpbb.com/30x/) - it looks completely different in print preview to how it looks in the browser.
Is there something I can do to fix this? Can I somehow give the print preview version some CSS code to restyle it? Anyone know why this would be happening?
Or alternatively, can you suggest another solution to convert HTML to PDF? I have tried Chrome extensions "iWeb2x" and "Send to Google Drive", but with no success - because the forum is secured, the PDF file they create is the forum's Login page, not the forum thread page I'm currently looking at.
Any help greatly appreciated - thanks.
Have a look here, maybe it's helpful

You can set your own css style for the printed page.
Hope it helps, regards
I had a case, where if the iframe is display:none, the css is not loaded, thus not printing the correct CSS style. You can fix it with visibility:hidden; And size zero
I use webforms.reportviewer.
I have already read many blog and article about report pagination and interactive page size.
My purpose is a similar to winforms.reportviewer's printlayout display mode.
But I did not find any solution about it.
I checked telerik's reportviewer control, and they can solve this issue.
But I couldn't figure out how...
Somebody any idea? Unfortunately I could't figure out, how it works..
Rendering your report as a PDF to the screen should give you what you want.
It will show your users what will get printed. There is not interactivity with this report.
You can do this using Url access parameters and rs commands
Format is like:
http://ReportServer/<Report_Name>&rs:Format=PDF
I want to show a PDF in browser, from which user can select text, showing pdf is very easy i have done this using "pdfviewer" control, now i want to get the selected text which the user selects in the PDF, is there any way to achieve this? i am using asp.net.
Edit: If there is a flash/ flex solution at the client end that will as well, does anyone know about it, i tried one API, but that dint seem to work
You can add a JavaScript PDF action to the page and have it post to an online form.
The PDF Viewer control from Winnovative doesn't offer any text selection APIs at all.
Acrobat's JavaScript engine doesn't either.
Sorry: No.
I am working on an image management application. We have an Adobe AIR client talking to a WAMP server. The MySQL DB stores the images as blobs.
We have an image search feature. Upon searching, I am displaying the results as XMLList in a popup window and provided a download button. Downloads work fine. I also want to add a preview button to the popup.
Please let me know how can I code this. Without having the file on the client, I cannot preview. But when I use save() method, the os dialog opens up. Anything to be done on the PHP side?
Please help.
Regards
Jad.
Don't you mean to display an Image? Wouldn't the normal work? Of course, for performance issues, your PHP code must render smaller images (thumbnails).
Correct me if wrongly understood your question. :(
