I am developing a Java Web Application (jsp/servlet) using tomcat. I need to display pdf file from local machine. can you suggest what is best way to display it?
I used iframe to display pdf file.
<iframe src="resume.pdf" width="100%" style="height:60em">
[Your browser does <em>not</em> support <code>iframe</code>,
or has been configured not to display inline frames.
You can access the document
via a link though.]
</iframe>
I think you can try a Library called XPDF , I think you can convert from PDF to HTML page , or the second option is just let the user open a link to the page (www.yourwebsite.com/pdffolder/somepdf.pdf)
If you need display a pdf file using tomcat, you can access directly to the file using the specific url where the file is located in your navigator, depending on the path where you put the file, so you can access using 127.0.0.1/files/test.pdf for example. If you need generate a pdf, the best tool I think is iText, this is an easy example how to use id: Introducing PDF and iText
How do I make a PDF file downloadable?
I'm have my web application in Tapestry 4.0.2, Spring and hibernate. when the user clicks in a "Save as PDF" link a PDF should be available to be downloaded.
So far I've a working code that generates the PDF file, but the file is saved on my desktop and what I want to do is that when the user clicks on the link the pdf file should be downloadable instead of being stored in the app. I'm using iText library for this.
You'll use a StreamResponse to render the binary and ComponentResources.createEventLink(...) to generate a link to the PDF event.
Take a look at my PDFLink component here which uses Apache FOP to render the PDF binary
* EDIT *
I just read the fine print (ie Tapestry 4.0.2). I'm unfamiliar with Tapestry 4. I'll leave this answer here as some of it may be compatible.
I know it's possible to convert an HTML file to PDF using Google Drive (HTML2PDF using Google Drive API) but I'd like to know if this HTML has images and CSS files is possible and how to do that.
You need convert HTML to a Docs file and export it as PDF. During the docs conversion most of the non-trivial styles are being trimmed. Basic coloring, sizing and positioning will all you'll get. The exported PDF is the Docs' file's PDF version. Images will be preserved though.
You can make experiments by uploading your html files to Google Drive on drive.google.com with conversion settings on and see the results.
For images you could try this: Embedding Base64 Images
Worked for me when uploading by web. Should work with my solution https://stackoverflow.com/a/21711109/592042
Css can be written right into html file.
How I can show .pdf files content in browser using GXT or GWT Libraries.
1) Web browsers can embed PDF documents handily, this is probably the most practical solution (use standard html windows in your GWT application that display the PDF, and make sure the PDF is accessible from the web). A GWT Child frame can effectively embed a pdf using native browser capabilities, just make sure you encode the content correctly in the header.
2) If you want to do some GWT/java/pdf wizardry, you can use iText's PDF reader/writer interface to customize the type of PDF data you want to display.
The ultimate answer depends on wether you want to embed a WHOLE pdf, or simply extract/create PDF contents as part of your web app.
I developed a report (without and independent of any db datasource) only with iText. I know that with JasperReports this is easy. But in my case I just storage the report in pdf file or I used acrobat for java beans to show the report to user. Now I need to change my implementation code to show this report in web browser instead to save in the file.
How I can do this?
You need 2 thinks, first the browser plugin installed on the browser and second to set the content disposition header as inline in the respose, otherwise the browser will try to download it.
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=\"file.pdf\"");
I assume that you've already set the Content Type to application/pdf and know how to convert an iText document to a bytearray and transmit it to the user.
A word of caution: if people outside your organization will use this app, the might not have the pdf plugin installed, in which case, the browse will download the pdf instead of displaying the pdf.
if the browser has the appropriate add-on installed, you can just drag and drop a pdf-file into the browser and it will show it.
Or if you have a site on which you want to present the pdf, you just put a link to it:
link to your pdf
Or did you mean you want to generate html-output for your report instead of pdf?
