Direct PDF Printing on the Printer in Java

So, I need to print a PDF directly to the printer, because I need to print invoices. If I use this form Desktop d = Desktop.getDesktop().print("Caminho do arquivo") it prints normally the first time, but opens the adobe together and the adobe closes the document and from there when I print again, it "buga" and prints everything that is in the extremely small PDF. And the idea is to print directly and in the size of the paper.

I have these 3 printers: Bematech MP 4200 TH, Bematech MP 4000 TH e MP2500TH. Below is how I learned to print directly from the printer.

PrintService iPadrao = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor docFlavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

try {
    FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("C:\Users\EX-PHP\Documents\TestePDF2\vai.pdf");

    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(stream, docFlavor, null);
    DocPrintJob p = iPadrao.createPrintJob();
    p.print(doc, null);
} catch (PrintException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

The PDF in question contains an invoice containing a QR code. Also I tried with PDFRenderer, and with some codes that I found on the internet but without success, it could be some error in the codes or something that is missing.

An option to work with PDF is to use the Apache PDFBox library that will extract the contents of your file and allow is printed:

public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

  PDDocument documento = PDDocument.load(new File("C:/Users/EX-PHP/Documents/TestePDF2/vai.pdf"));
  PrintService servico = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();

  PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
  job.setPageable(new PDFPageable(documento));
  job.setPrintService(servico);
  job.print();
  documento.close();
}

Dependencies for use of Apache PDFBox can be found in the Dependencies section of the site. For this example, Apache Commons Logging and fontbox .

If you are using Maven use the following dependency import:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
    <artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.7</version>
</dependency>
