To print the document, use the print method from Document Editor instance.
Refer to the following example for showing a document and print it.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<button v-on:click='print' >Print</button>
</div>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :enablePrint='true' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Print } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
DocumentEditor : [Print]
}
methods: {
print: function() {
//Print the content of the Document Editor.
this.$refs.documenteditor.print();
}
},
mounted: function() {
let sfdt: string =`{
"sections": [
{
"blocks": [
{
"inlines": [
{
"characterFormat": {
"bold": true,
"italic": true
},
"text": "Hello World"
}
]
}
],
"headersFooters": {
}
}
]
}`;
//Open default document in Document Editor.
this.$refs.documenteditor.open(sfdt);
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor/styles/material.css";
</style>Refer to the following example for creating a document and print it.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<button v-on:click='print' >Print</button>
</div>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :isReadOnly='false' :enablePrint='true' :enableEditor='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditorHistory='true' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditor : [Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory]
}
methods: {
print: function() {
//Print the content of the Document Editor.
this.$refs.documenteditor.print();
}
}

</style>Improve print quality
Document editor provides an option to improve the print quality using printDevicePixelRatio in Document editor settings. Document editor using canvas approach to render content. Then, canvas are converted to image and it process for print. Using printDevicePixelRatio API, you can increase the image quality based on your requirement.
The following example code illustrates how to improve the print quality in Document editor container.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-documenteditorcontainer ref='documenteditor' :serviceUrl='serviceUrl' :documentEditorSettings='settings' height="590px" id='container' :enableToolbar='true'></ejs-documenteditorcontainer>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DocumentEditorContainerPlugin, DocumentEditorContainerComponent,Toolbar} from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorContainerPlugin);
export default {
data() {
return { serviceUrl:'https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/documenteditor/',
settings:{ printDevicePixelRatio: 2} };
},
provide: {
//Inject require modules.
DocumentEditorContainer: [Toolbar]
}
}
</script>
Note: By default, printDevicePixelRatio value is 1.
Print using window object
You can print the document in Document Editor by passing the window instance. This is useful to implement print in third party frameworks such as electron, where the window instance will not be available. Refer to the following example.
this.$refs.documenteditor.print(window);
Page setup
Some of the print options cannot be configured using JavaScript. Refer to the following links to learn more about the browser page setup:
However, you can customize margins, paper, and layout options by modifying the section format properties using page setup dialog
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :isReadOnly='false' :enablePrint='true' :enableEditor='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditorHistory='true' :enablePageSetupDialog='true' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory, PageSetupDialog } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
DocumentEditor : [Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory, PageSetupDialog]
},
mounted: function() {
this.$refs.documenteditor.showPageSetupDialog();
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor/styles/material.css";
</style>
By customizing margins, papers, and layouts, the layout of the document will be changed in Document Editor. To modify these options during print operation, serialize the document as SFDT using the serialize method in Document Editor instance and open the SFDT data in another instance of Document Editor in separate window.
The following example shows how to customize layout options only for printing.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div>
<button v-on:click='print' >Print</button>
</div>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="documenteditor" :isReadOnly='false' :enablePrint='true' :enableEditor='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditorHistory='true' :enableSfdtExport='true' height="370px" style="width: 100%;""></ejs-documenteditor>
<ejs-documenteditor ref="pagesetup_documenteditor" :isReadOnly='false' :enablePrint='true' :enableEditor='true' :enableSelection='true' :enableEditorHistory='true' :enableSfdtExport='true' height="370px" style="width: 100%;"></ejs-documenteditor>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue'
import { DocumentEditorPlugin, Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory, SfdtExport } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-documenteditor';
Vue.use(DocumentEditorPlugin);
export default {
data: function() {
return {
};
},
provide: {
DocumentEditor : [Print, Editor, Selection, EditorHistory, SfdtExport]
}
methods: {
print: function() {
let sfdtData = this.$refs.documenteditor.serialize();
this.$refs.pagesetup_documenteditor.open(sfdtData);
//Set A5 paper size
this.$refs.pagesetup_documenteditor.ej2Instances.selection.sectionFormat.pageWidth = 419.55;
this.$refs.pagesetup_documenteditor.ej2Instances.selection.sectionFormat.pageHeight = 595.30;
this.$refs.pagesetup_documenteditor.print();
}
}
}
