PrintedPdfDocument vs PdfDocument

Could not find much difference in the Doc

What is the difference between them ? and when one should prefer one over other ?

For Android PDF Generation

Solution

  • PrintedPdfDocument It is an auxiliary class.

    For example, it takes the value of printAttributes.

    Sample UseCase

    val printAttributes = PrintAttributes.Builder()
            .setColorMode(PrintAttributes.COLOR_MODE_COLOR)
            .setMediaSize(pageSize.pageType)
            .setResolution(PrintAttributes.Resolution("res1", "300_DPI", 300, 300))
            .setMinMargins(PrintAttributes.Margins.NO_MARGINS)
            .build()

        doc = PrintedPdfDocument(context, printAttributes)

    As you can see, you can make customizations.

    The most important point

    public class PrintedPdfDocument extends PdfDocument

    It is extended from the PdfDocument class.

    If you are going to do customization, I recommend using PrintedPdfDocument .
