Display PDF document from Servlets to browser

Hi All,
I am displaying a PDF document in Servlet after reading the stream. PDF size is of more than 3MB, so it takes a lot of time to get downloaded and to display on the browser.
Is there anyway to display the initial pages to the browser (whatever data has been sent ). Can you please help me in this.
Please treat it as urgent
Thanks in advance,
Purav

I have to ask:
Why are you trying to pump a PDF to the client? Is it stored in a database rather than to the file system? Or...are you trying to display a PDF file in HTML format so end users don't need Acrobat?
If neither of these is the case, couldn't you just send a response.redirect("path to PDF file") and get the same result without all the headache?
If case 1 (the PDF is stored in the database and not the filesystem), you may want to ask why? You could simply create a table that maps some document_id to a local file path. That way if you need to delete it or change it, you know what and where it is.
If case 2 (you want to read a PDF and display as HTML to the client) you should use a parser like:

  • Display PDF document from Servlets to browser - how 2 change the title

    Hi, need help of changing the html title when Display PDF document from Servlets to browser. By default the browser's title shows the obsolute URL where the rdf comes from (i.e. http://www.google.com/sample.pdf), because servlet responds a binary data (PDF), there seems to be no other way to change the browser's title to fit my own choice.
    Appreciate your quick help,

    You can try and check with

  • Adobe Reader DC, doesn't disable "Display PDF Document in the web browser" when option is unchecked.

    The option under Accessibility>Setup Assistanct to uncheck the "Display PDF Document in the web browser" doesn't correctly disable Display PDF in browser when unchecked, it still defaults to opening in Internet Explorer even after restarting the browser.  Confirmed this tested agianst with IE 8, 9, 10 and 11 with the same behavior.  Moving back to Reader 11.0.10 and using this same setting works flawlessly.  Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    PrintStream wr = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    wr.close();I suspect this is the problem. You could try socket.shutdownOutput() - or you could just leave the streams alone and let socket.close() shut things down.

  • Display only 1 record using uploaded PDF document from 3rdparty Website

    Hi,
    Any help will be very much appreciated....
    I'm trying to create my first BI publisher report using a PDF document from 3rd party website. I want to populate the name from EMP table to one of the fields in the PDF doc.
    Here's the steps I've done:
    1. Created and saved a data set using only the ENAME column of EMP table. 14 records are available from the table.
    2. Run xml output and then save as sample data.
    3. Downloaded the PDF doc from the 3rd party website (government form - US Custom Form 7512).
    4. Using Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, I mapped the element name (ENAME) from my input XML file to the Name field.
    <output type="data-structure" >
    <dataStructure tagName="DATA_DS">
    <group name="G_2" source="Employee" label="G_2" >
    <element name="ENAME" value="ENAME" dataType="xsd:string" label="ENAME" breakOrder="None" fieldOrder="1"/>
    </group>
    </dataStructure>
    </output>
    5. Uploaded the revised PDF document to BI publisher.
    6. Created and saved the report.
    7. When I viewed the report in PDF, only 1 page is displayed. I'm expecting to see 14 pages because I have 14 records from the table EMP.
    Any report properties that I need to change to allow me to view all the records from the EMP table?
    Version of BI and Adobe
    Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5.0
    Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4

    There could be an issue with the Loop. I guess your Template is looking at the first record only and not reading through all the records.
    Try to get the BI Publisher Desktop tool. Using this tool you can merge PDF document and XML to see the output from your local PC/Laptop. It will be easy for you to debug.

  • Reading a PDF document from my browser

    When I want to read a PDF document from my browser (Firefox), the document automatically gets downloaded and saved to My Documents.  Then I have to click on downloads or go the My Documents to read it. Then if I don;t want to save the document I have to do in a delete it. How can I just read the document from my browser without saving it?

    Firefox uses its own PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html

  • Specifying pdf document's name in browser - content-disposition problem

    Hello ,
    I want to open a PDF document in browser, which needs to have a specified filename when user tries to save it.
    My web app sends an "application/pdf" document back to the browser.
    I use the Content-Disposition HTTP header to instruct the browser to open the document inline, i.e. using the appropriate plugin, which is Adobe PDF in this case. When the user clicks Save As..., the document filename needs to be the one specified by the same HTTP header. Here is the code:
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    String contentDisposition = "inline; filename=\"filename.pdf\"";
    response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
    response.setHeader ("Content-Length",new Long(file.length()).toString());Unfortunately this does not work for me. Document opens fine, but I can't get it to have the name I specified. The plugin uses the default name, which is the full URL of the document. I tried several combinations of HTTP headers, but neither worked. I tried putting an additional GET request parameter at the end of the URL, like ...&filename=filename.pdf , but that didn't work either.
    I tried Adobe 7.0 and 8.1.2.
    Any suggestions ?
    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you very much for your answer.
    Needless to say I tried opening the document in IE, FF and Chrome, and neither worked.
    I had a look at the code at your web site, and saw that you were serving files for direct download: Content-Dispositoin:attachment... .
    This works fine for me too, and the filename is recognized correctly in that case. The problem is, I want to display the PDF inline...
    My server is not configured for URL rewriting, and I would be probably quite some problem to make this app work with it, so the /filename.pdf is not an option for me.

  • Trying to open a PDF document from a website

    when trying to open a PDF document from a website, it goes to a totally black page with a white box in the middle, and states: 
    Adobe Reader 
    Before viewing PDF documentsin this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and except the End User License Agreement, then Quit and re-launch the browser.
    consequently, i can't open the document

    The first question is, did you do what it said? Launch Reader (on its own, not in a browser) and accept the agreement?

  • Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

    I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
    There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

    The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

  • When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

    When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

    When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that.  Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
    It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

  • Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

    Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
    know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
    Any suggestion grateful received.

    No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
    However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:
    http://www.iconus.ch/fabien/pdflab/
    This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
    Hope this helps...
