How to print a PDF without a printer

Updated 31 October 2026

Quick answer: The easiest way to print a PDF without a printer is to use an online printing service: upload the PDF, pay online, and get the printout delivered. On PrintPDFOnline, black & white prints cost ₹2 per page and orders are printed within 1 working day and delivered in 3–7 working days.

1. Use an online printing service (no travel)

Online printing services print your file and courier it to you. It is the most convenient option when you cannot get to a shop, need bound copies, or are ordering many pages.

  1. Save or export your document as a PDF.
  2. Go to printpdfonline.com and upload the PDF. The pages are counted automatically.
  3. Choose black & white or colour, single or double-sided, paper size, binding and copies.
  4. Enter your address, pay online, and track the order with your order ID.

For example, a 50-page document in black & white costs ₹149 including delivery.

2. Visit a local print or xerox shop

Carry the PDF on your phone, email it to the shop, or share it on WhatsApp. This is fastest when you need a few pages within the hour. Avoid sharing private documents through public computers, and delete the file from the shop’s system afterwards.

3. Use a library, college or cyber café printer

Many college libraries and cyber cafés offer printing per page. Log out of your email and delete downloaded files when you finish.

4. Ask a friend or use an office printer

For a page or two, a friend’s printer works. For long documents, notes or anything that needs binding, an online service is usually cheaper and less hassle.
