Android Question ESC POS Print Service

[Abdull Cadre]

Hello to all forum members. I've been seeing some topics here about ESC/ POS.
example 1: Bluetooth ESC/POS Printer Class by agraham
example 2: SD EscPos Printer (Lan,USB, Bluetooth SPP, BLE)

But none of them can solve my problem, because they don't print a pdf, just line of text, images, qr and bar code.

Please if anyone has a solution, please help me.
