The browser print function only prints what's visible in the page ...

That doesn't sound right. What do you mean by "browser print function"? Evoking window.print() using JavaScript? Keying CTRL + P to bring up the browser print dialog? That enables you to print multi-page documents.

if the PDF is larger than pages the browser only prints what's visible
in the PDF viewer.

Printing only "what's visible" sounds like screen capture. But that doesn't make sense.

We have the data on the Iseries,

So there shouldn't be a problem generating an HTML doc that shows what a user might want to print.

the PDF is static and on the Iseries too.

You could create an image of it and embed that in your HTML document.
