1618955 - PDF viewer never gets into a "ready to print" state inside an iframe with a "too small" size

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Testcase:

<iframe style="width: 10px; height: 10px" src="test.pdf"></iframe>
<button onclick="frames[0].print()">Click me</button>

Live version at http://web.mit.edu/bzbarsky/www/testcases/pdf-printing/print-with-small-size.html

Load the testcase, wait a bit, click the button. Instead of the PDF getting printed properly, you will get the "The PDF is not fully loaded for printing" alert.

The same thing happens at 40px by 40px; going to 80px by 80px seems to make things work.

It's real interesting, in my test case, I can set the width to 1px and the cut-off point of it not working is height lower than 33px.

I suspect, based on nothing but guesswork, it has to do with whether any of the actual page being rendered, which is below the toolbar, is visible...
