HI,
We are utilizing Link OS SDK for Zebra IOS mobile printing as per recommendation from zebra partner for Manhattan Associates.
We observed for LInk OS the printer only accepts ZPL format, can you please share how the pdf file can be converted to zpl format to print the labels.
We can make use of java backend if zebra library is available for this conversion.
Thanks

Link-OS printers support PDF print since the Link-OS v6.3. You can download the PDF Direct emulator and install it on a printer with Link-OS v6.3 or later. Once the PDF Direct is installed and enabled, you can call the sendFileContents() API to send the PDF file directly to the printer to print. There is no need to convert a PDF to ZPL anymore. The PDF Direct emulator can be downloaded from the Factory Installed Printer Emulations package under the firmware section on the printer support page. You can refer to this article for the detail on how to install and enable the PDF Direct emulator - Announcement | Printers Include Free PDF Direct with Link-OS 6.3.
You can also use the Zebra Printer Setup app on Android or iOS to install and enable the PDF Direct.
