Hello,

Thank you for the request.

Workarounds

The new version of Chrome 77 removed the ability to automatically print a PDF file. Perhaps this is a bug in Chrome 77 and will be fixed in the next version. We are looking for solutions to the problem on the current version of the product. At this moment, you can use HTML printing (Print without Preview), or use the following workaround for PDF printing - put this small JavaScript code on the viewer page after initializing it. The variable jsStiWebViewer1 is the "js" + component ID.

```
<script>

jsStiWebViewer1.printAsPdf = function (url, data) {

jsStiWebViewer1.printAsPdfPopup(data);

}

</script>
```

Solution for JS
in the file stimulsoft.reports.js replace the line

```
if(t.indexOf("Chrome")>=0)return"Chrome";
```

on

```
if(t.indexOf("Chrome")>=0)return"Safari";
```

There will still be no automatic printing with these solutions, just the PDF file will start to open in a new browser tab, where you can click on "Print" in the PDF file.

Other solution is to revert back to Chrome 76.

The issue is solved and the fix will be available in the next version 2019.3.6.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.
