Print PDF or JPG using thermal printer

[oliver]

Is there a way that i can print a PDF or JPG using a thermal printer from a raspberry pi 2 (or b+ or b). I am trying to make a thingy which prints the weather and a weather chart. Is this easily possible? I have looked around but haven't been able to find anything on it.

Thanks in advance

Do not see why not it is just printing, the main question is is what Printer you are using ??

I have not bought a printer yet but i would either get a usb one or an adafruit one. It will have quite wide paper

AFAIAA all the Adafruit Thermal Printers print in BitMap format so would need to convert to that format:
