I have an issue to print a PDF using java. I know that Java doesn't support print PDF natively cause java doesn't have a PDF renderer. So to solve this problem I'm using a PDFRenderer library and here is an example for printing with it:
File f = new File("myfile.pdf");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
ByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0,
fc.size());
PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(bb);
PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
pjob.setJobName(f.getName());
pjob.setPrintService(mPrintService);
Book book = new Book();
book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
pjob.setPageable(book);
pjob.print();
It works fine, but I need some way to get status of my printer job. I need to know when my printer job was finished that I can start another. Java API has a good solution with DocPrintJob and PrintJobListener but I need to use PrinterJob for my PDF printing. So how I can listen the job status from my PrinterJob like it does in DocPrintJob?
javafx.print
Enum PrinterJob.JobStatus
java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<PrinterJob.JobStatus>
javafx.print.PrinterJob.JobStatus
public static PrinterJob.JobStatus[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
for (PrinterJob.JobStatus c : PrinterJob.JobStatus.values())
System.out.println(c);
