Print events in Angular PDF Viewer

25 Jul 20265 minutes to read

This page lists each event emitted by the Angular PDF Viewer’s Print feature, the argument schema, and the minimal behavior notes needed for implementation.

Events

Name	Description
`printStart`	Raised when a print action begins. Use the event to log activity or cancel printing.
`printEnd`	Raised after a print action completes. Use the event to notify users or clean up resources.

`printStart`

This event is emitted when printing is initiated by the toolbar or through the programmatic API. Use it to validate prerequisites, record analytics, or cancel printing.

Arguments - (PrintStartEventArgs):

fileName - The document file name being printed.
cancel - Default: false. Set to true to cancel the print operation.

Setting args.cancel = true prevents the client-side print flow; for server-backed printing it prevents the service request that produces print output. See the code example here.

Minimal usage example:

Standalone
import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import {
  PdfViewerComponent,
  PdfViewerModule,
  LinkAnnotationService,
  BookmarkViewService,
  MagnificationService,
  ThumbnailViewService,
  ToolbarService,
  NavigationService,
  TextSearchService,
  TextSelectionService,
  PrintService,
  AnnotationService,
  FormFieldsService,
  FormDesignerService,
  PageOrganizerService,
  PrintStartEventArgs,
} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-pdfviewer';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [PdfViewerModule],
  providers: [
    LinkAnnotationService,
    BookmarkViewService,
    MagnificationService,
    ThumbnailViewService,
    ToolbarService,
    NavigationService,
    TextSearchService,
    TextSelectionService,
    PrintService,
    AnnotationService,
    FormFieldsService,
    FormDesignerService,
    PageOrganizerService,
  ],
  template: `
      <ejs-pdfviewer
        #pdfviewer
        id="PdfViewer"
        [documentPath]="document"
        [resourceUrl]="resource"
        (printStart)="printStart($event)"
        style="height: 100vh; width: 100%; display: block"
      >
      </ejs-pdfviewer>
    `,
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  @ViewChild('pdfviewer')
  public pdfviewerControl!: PdfViewerComponent;

  public document: string =
    'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/pdf/pdf-succinctly.pdf';

  public resource: string =
    'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.2.6/dist/ej2-pdfviewer-lib';

  ngOnInit(): void {
    // Initialization logic (if needed)
  }

  printStart(args: PrintStartEventArgs): void {
    console.log('Print action has started for file: ' + args.fileName);
  }
}

`printEnd`

This event is emitted after the printing completes. Use to finalize analytics, clear temporary state, or notify users.

Arguments: (PrintEndEventArgs):

fileName - The printed document name.
