Issue printing with shrink to fit
I have a PDF in A4 page format that I'm trying to print to a printer that only has Letter size paper. In working through other issues, I was using PDFPageable specifying a dpi. However, I noticed that class uses the original size of the document and I need to be able to shrink the document to fit the printer if necessary. I wasn't sure how to combine both the PDFPageable and PDFPrintable, so I basically copied the PDFPageable class and created a PDFPageableWithScaling class. In the constructor, I pass in Scaling.SHRINK_TO_FIT and then pass this into the constructor of PDFPrintable. However, the document still prints A4 on my Letter paper. I'm relatively new to all of this, so I'm sure I'm missing something. Any help is appreciated.
Calling code:
String sourcePDF = "C:\\temp\\CPTest\\CMC-MBOM-001_PATTARO Roberto.pdf";
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
try (PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(sourcePDF))) {
job.setPageable(new PDFPageableWithScaling(document, Orientation.AUTO, false, 600, Scaling.SHRINK_TO_FIT));
job.print();
} catch (IOException | PrinterException e) {
throw new RuntumeException("Unable to print file " + sourcePDF + ".", e);
}
The only code in PDFPageable that I changed was this:
public Printable getPrintable(int i) {
if (i >= getNumberOfPages()) {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(i + " >= " + getNumberOfPages());
}
return new PDFPrintable(document, scaling, showPageBorder, dpi);
}
Original PDFPageable code:
public Printable getPrintable(int i) {
if (i >= getNumberOfPages()) {
throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(i + " >= " + getNumberOfPages());
}
return new PDFPrintable(document, Scaling.ACTUAL_SIZE, showPageBorder, dpi);
}
I'm using pdfbox 2.0.1.

I tried with 2.0.5. It did not make any difference.

Could this help? This is example code from Printing.java:
/**
* Prints using a custom page size and custom margins.
*/
private static void printWithPaper(PDDocument document)
throws IOException, PrinterException
{
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(document));
// define custom paper
Paper paper = new Paper();
paper.setSize(306, 396); // 1/72 inch
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, paper.getWidth(),
paper.getHeight()); // no margins
// custom page format
PageFormat pageFormat = new PageFormat();
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
// override the page format
Book book = new Book();
// append all pages
book.append(new PDFPrintable(document), pageFormat,
document.getNumberOfPages());
job.setPageable(book);
job.print();
}
