This is the window that appears for printing in browser. This windows appear after opening on a PDF page in a browser. Also this window is next stop after clicking print button in a PDF file generated by FPDF. I am using FPDF and I believe you cant output or add other things aside from your data so Close window automatically after printing dialog closes solution is not valid for my problem. This solution basically add a JS script in the pop up window.
Is there a way to close this window after clicking on the PRINT BUTTON for PDF pages. For PDF generated by FPDF?

So you know how extensions work in Google, right? You click a button and it opens this small window within the internal webpage. I know how to make a button open an external window, but how do I make it work similarly to an extension. Basically, I'd like to have an html page where I can click a button and it'll open a small popup of another .html file within the first html page. So it would be this: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_js_popup but where it says "A Simple Popup!" it's an .html page.
I have used window.open() of JavaScript function to display a PDF/an image. What is my question is I don't want to show options tab for user. Otherwise if possible I want to hide the 'download' and 'print' option from the window.open tab.
This cannot be done via code. This is a PDF preview. Not an HTML page. The only way you can remove the icons from showing i.e. print & download, is to edit Viewing PDFs and viewing preferences

I have a website, but I need a button which I want to print a specific .pdf file from my webpage database.
As an example, this site
has a print button, which gives you option to print some pdf files
Any idea how can I do that?
I've tried this one, but it's not working:
<a href="../Documents/ScrittoGraffito/Scritto_Customers/Nicolaides_Optical/Nicolaides_webpage/Shop1_Banner.pdf"
onclick="window.print()"/><p class="test">link</p></a>
That code will tell the browser to open the print dialog for the current page.
If you want to force the browser to print the linked pdf then that is not possible, as it will be completely controlled by the application or plugin that handles pdf documents.
EDIT;
Apparently it is possible, but you have to make use of a pdf toolkit.
I have a HTML page that has a link to a PDF. This PDF opens in a new window.
The parent HTML page has a File->Print menu item. When the user clicks Print I want to be able to automatically open the PDF and print it. The printing part is where I am stuck.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
If you open that window with a specific name (e.g. target="nameofwin") in the link pointing at the PDF, you might get away with nameofwin.print(). However, I'm not sure if that'd work since the PDF will be shown using a plugin, and not be a native part of the page. There may be some API that allows you to interface with the PDF display plugin, but then you're stuck wondering if you've got Acrobat or FoxIt or WhateverElse running in there.
You can probably use PDF.js to render the PDF in a hidden div. Then, on your "print" button, register a click in which you add a new print stylesheet to the document, show that div, print the window and then remove the print stylesheet.
Every browser has print preview command in their File menu I want to make "print" button on HTML page and upon clicking i want to open print preview page. is this possible?
With this we can open print options
Print this page
but can we open print-preview page instead print options ?
window.print() is the only print-related function in window.
However, if you have defined a dedicated css-file for print, you can create a page that simulates a print-preview by only using the print stylesheet. And then open this in a popup or new window.
No you can't. However there is a way to show that in IE by using ActiveX and some others for other browsers...
