Omit header, footer & radio buttons when using window.print
Hi, I need to make sure our users always have the latest copy of a .pdf file from our Intranet, so initially I wanted to see if there was a way to prevent the PDF from being saved to the desktop. As this doesn't appear to be possible my next approach is to put the contents of the .pdf into a .html file and use the javascript:popUp command.
This works, however both the Print and Close buttons appear on the printed page along with the header and footer text, all of which I want to remove.
Kind regards,
Rick Penney

How about hiding the button onclick and then calling your print function?

Thank you both for your quick replies

whereabouts in the code would I enter this?
Would this also stop the Print and Close buttons from printing?

Do you mean to remove the buttons and just use File, Print or Ctrl P to bring up the Printer selection box?
Kind regards

whereabouts in the code would I enter this?anyplace on your page, preferably at the beginning, just wrap your css rules with <style></style> tag.
Would this also stop the Print and Close buttons from printing?Yes, you can hide whatever you want within the css rules.
Actually it is fully depends on the rules you gonna define.

Many thanks to you both for your time
I used a combination of both information, I also added the following below as well.
I didn't really achieve what I was after completely, as I wanted to prevent the Header and Footer text that the browser puts in , e.g the Url in the Footer but I have since learned that this is controlled in the Users Browser and isn't influenced by the CSS.

<button id="printPageButton" onClick="window.print();">
#printPageButton {
display: none;
