My requirement is that i have to display list of PDF documents on browser as rectangular boxes. In the rectangular box i need to show PDF document cover page as thumbnail. When user clicks on any rectangular box, calls goes to server side and document will download on client.
We have couple of JQuery plugins that works as PDF viewer but what i need is PDF first page as thumbnail.
My questions is can we achieve this on client side?
If not then i will have to possibly work this out on server side by converting PDF page to image using JPedal/Ghost4J tools and then sending images to client side.

How to prevent downloading PDF file when displaying on web pages?
I tried the content disposition inline but it didn't work.
How can i do this ?
One option is to render the PDF to JPEG or some other image format and only serve the rendered images to the user. Some of the PDF libraries allow you to render PDF's to other file formats.
Another option may be to send/redirect the PDF through to an online PDF viewing app in the same way Google does with attachments in GMail. That way the user sees a JPEG of the PDF and cannot download the PDF.

How can i achieve this in my jsp page?
Create a pdf link on your page and the link should be mapped to the actual location the PDF exists on your server.
The browser actually handles what to do with the pdf (based on your browser settings) .... whether to download it or open it via plugin. The bottomline is you cannot control it via server side code.
In either of the case you cannot apply window.print() because that is only applicable to browser window and not pdf plugin functionality or if it gets downloaded then he has to manually open it.
There is an alternate solution to this. That is show the pdf in a div in your html and print that div.
For how to show pdf in a html div you can look Display Adobe pdf inside a div
For printing a div or any other html element there are jquery plugins available. I have used print.js that will print a html div, it will also maintain your css.
So when user clicks the print button first show the pdf in a div and then call the print function to print that div.
