pdf not working
Hi all,
Iam trying to call a link to a new window and that's calling a pdf document
thats somewhere in my folder under webapps.
The problem is that the pdf is not shown. If i try it with an image it will
be displayed correctly. I am using Tomcat 5.5.

I have the exact opposite of your problem, and I have no idea why mine
works, I want to display a PDF file in the Browser Window from a list of
documents..... It may be JPG, DOC, BMP, PDF, whatever...... And then I want
to be able to VIEW the document FULL SCREEN, and send it out to WORD, or
ADOBE, etc, depending on the document type.....
A JPG or BMP will display in my Browser when selected successfully and go
out to a separate window (I.E.) successfully if I hit VIEW FULL SCREEN....
a PDF, will NOT display in my current browser window, but if I hit VIEW
full screen it will go out to Adobe Reader, which is what I want it to
do.... I made NO changes to Tomcat to make this happen.....

Here is what worked for me. The PDF is created dynamically.
1. a small bit of code which used FOP and served it as a stream. Be sure to
set the response type.
byte[] fo;
.
.
.
InputSource fopInput = new InputSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( fo )
);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Driver driver = new Driver( fopInput, outStream );
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();
output = outStream.toByteArray();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentLength(output.length);
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
os.write(output);
os.close();
2. Also added to the URL at the end was the following:
&pdf=.pdf\
Can't remember where I found this idea, nor can I find it at this minute,
but it made it work.
hth,
Dave

Just so I understand, file.jpg is hosted fine back to a browser. File.pdf,
in the same location, is not hosted back to the browser find. Is that what
you are experiencing? Sounds like tomcat is configured to "execute" pdf
documents as opposed to hosting them. Much like you would configure a web
server to execute streaming video as opposed to just hosting a video to be
downloaded. I do not know where this configuration is done in Tomcat, but
that is where I would start.

hI.
I am using internet explorer. The problem is when I open it as a file system
file (i.e. d:\etc..\x.pdf) it works.
But a relative path to a folder in my webapps it is NOT working.
