Silent PDF printing for Windows
PrintBridge connects your supported web application to a Windows printer through a Chrome extension and a local Windows component, allowing PDF print requests to be handled without opening the browser's print dialog.

Everything you need to get started
PrintBridge relies on two synced modules to provide reliable silent printing capability.
Chrome Extension
Connects your supported web application to PrintBridge and provides the browser-side printing bridge.
Windows Component
Runs locally on Windows and provides the Windows-side functionality required for printing.
How PrintBridge works
When your supported web application requests a PDF print, PrintBridge passes the request through the Chrome extension to the locally installed Windows component. The Windows component handles the local printing workflow using the printer environment available on your computer.
