Render PDF on client machine

#26525

Hi, i have a document that is build from a SQL query of a field that contains HTML previously entered by a HTMLEditor. Everything is fine but when i want to display the document from a client the document shows on the server not in the client machine, and of course i need the document shows on client machine i use the following code:

try {
/*no funca*/
// File f = new File(“file://localhost/AsignaNombre.pdf”); //doesn’t work
fos = new FileOutputStream(“test.pdf “);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fe) {
…
}catch(Exception ex){
…
}
cPD4ML pd4ml = new cPD4ML();
//abre el pdf inicio
try {
…..
[database query with Resulset ]
……
//HTMLString store the HTML from the Oracle’s CLOB query
pd4ml.render(new StringReader(HTMLString),output);
fos.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
…
}

try { // this shows the document on screen
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler test.pdf”);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
// TODO
System.out.println(“Problema al abrir PDF “+ioe.getMessage());
ioe.printStackTrace();
}

In order to show the document on client machine, you need to consider a web scenario (to deliver generated document to the machine by HTTP). There are many PD4ML servlet or JSP samples, which do the trick.

Thanks in fact the problem was in java because it render on server meanwhile javascript render on client. A call from Javascript solves the problem.

Thanks for your time
