Applet in PDF

Is it possible to embed applet in pdf or any other alternative solution?

No. You can (regrettably) embed Flash. If it is nonvisual elements you want, there is a JavaScript calculation API, which can also show simple dialogs.

Including java applets in pdf documents

Dear all,
I would like to include a java applet in a pdf document. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about it?
Thanks,
Philip

A google search threw up the following:
JView Acrobat Plug-in for Incorporating Java Applets into PDF Documents
Acrobat Plug-in allowing generic network-aware and standalone Java Applets to be incorporated as content within PDF documents.

Java Applet - Printing Pdf Files

Hi
Can anyone suggest me some libraries to print pdfs using Java Applets. I have tried using the SmartJPrint library but its giving me error when I try printing pdfs using applets.
Thanks
nikhil

SmartJPrint web applets have changed recently and works to be fine every time. You might try these links for printing of existing pdf, pdf viewing, pdf print, pdf silent printing from a command line or silently printing a pdf from a browser page.
http://www.activetree.com
Demo that print a PDF from a browser page silently.
[This demo printing control parameters as part of the PDF url. Interestingly this pdf print demo from browser works for a remote PDF URL that dynamically generate a PDF and then prints to the printer. In this demo you have the option to enter your URL that is either a PDF or a PDF generating URL that eventually generates a PDF and then prints.]
http://www.activetree.com/silent_print_from_browser1/start.jsp
[PDF print silently or using user choice dialog from the applet. PDF printing parameters such as printer name, auto page size detection, paper size selection, fit to page etc. are made as choice. This demo too print a PDF or more than one PDF as a batch pdf print. You have chice to submit the pdf print job as a separate print job or as one pdf print job.]
http://www.activetree.com/silent_print_from_browser2/start.jsp
These two links are opening their PDF viewer applet for viewing your local or remote PDF files.

Converting Applets to PDF..

Hi, I am looking for ways to save an applet ouput directly as a pdf file.
Without using iText or other packages ....
Thx.

Welcome to the forums!
If you are running OS X Tiger, you can try this:
- Choose the Print menu item
- In the Print Dialog box, use the "Copies and Pages" dropdown menu to select the "ColorSync" menu item
- In the panel that pops up, in the Quartz Filter dropdown menu, choose "Reduce File Size". This will reduce the resolution of the images in the file (including things like the background), and so can greatly reduce the size of the file.
- Once this item is selected, use the Print Dialog PDF dropdown menu to create the PDF
Unfortunately, Leopard has done away with the Quartz Filter options in the Print Dialog. However, if you are running Leopard, another option may be to export the presentation as images (you can control the quality, and therefore file size, of JPEGS), and then use Preview to gather those separate images into a multipage PDF.

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

Can I save as pdf when printing from a Java applet on a webpage in Safari?

I am trying to use a webpage that is running a Java applet. A dialog comes up that asks me, "Do you want to run this application?" The dialog also says, "This application will run with limited access that is intended to protect your computer and personal information." I select "Run". The applet generates an image I want to print. There is a "Print" button on the applet. I select "Print". A Security Warning dialog comes up that says, "The applet has requested access to the printer. Do you want to allow this action?" I select "OK". The Print dialog comes up. I choose the PDF button in the lower left corner. I choose "Save as PDF...". A second Print dialog comes up. I input a title in the Save As box. I choose Desktop in the Where box. I do not change anything else and select the "Save" button. A dialog appears that says, "Print Error while printing." There is an icon with paper, a pencil, a ruler and a paintbrush on the dialog.
Is this an issue with Apple and Java security? Does "run with limited access" mean I can't print and save as PDF? Should I upgrade to Mavericks? It seems like others have not been happy with Mavericks and have had problems saving as PDF with Mavericks. How do I let Apple know about this error? The error dialog is useless.
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.2. My Java version is 7 update 51.
What other information can I provide to help solve the problem (if it can be solved)?
Thank you for your help!

Reading a pdf file from URL into Byte array/ByteBuffer in an applet.

I'm trying to figure out why this particular snippet of code isn't working for me. I've got an applet which is supposed to read a .pdf and display it with a pdf-renderer library, but for some reason when I read in the .pdf files which sit on my server, they end up as being corrupt. I've tested it by writing the files back out again.
I've tried viewing the applet in both IE and Firefox and the corrupt files occur. Funny thing is, when I trying viewing the applet in Safari (for Windows), the file is actually fine! I understand the JVM might be different, but I am still lost. I've compiled in Java 1.5. JVMs are 1.6. The snippet which reads the file is below.
public static ByteBuffer getAsByteArray(URL url) throws IOException {
        ByteArrayOutputStream tmpOut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
        int contentLength = connection.getContentLength();
        InputStream in = url.openStream();
        byte[] buf = new byte[512];
        int len;
        while (true) {
            len = in.read(buf);
            if (len == -1) {
                break;
            tmpOut.write(buf, 0, len);
        tmpOut.close();
        ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(tmpOut.toByteArray(), 0,
                                        tmpOut.size());
        //Lines below used to test if file is corrupt
        //FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:\\abc.pdf");
        //fos.write(tmpOut.toByteArray());
        return bb;
}I must be missing something, and I've been banging my head trying to figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Print- Save as PDF from Java applet on a webpage in Safari

I am on a Mac running OS X version 10.8.5 and Safari version 6.1.2. I am using the website www.wordle.net, which uses a Java applet to create a Wordle. The applet has a print button. The website FAQ says I should be able to save a Wordle as a PDF on a Mac. When I try to do this I get a small dialog that simply says "Error whilte printing."
Here is some of the system.log:

Help! I want to make Wordles for the teachers at my kids school for Teacher Appreciation Week.

YES!!!!!!!
I was pulling my hair out last night over this. I noticed the Find function was not working properly. I KNEW there was something in the PDF and Preview was not showing it. I spent 2 hours trying to find someone with a similar Find function problem, but could not find much. Also, it could not copy and paste text. I KNOW it worked before because I had taken notes on this particular PDF and had copy and pasted whole paragraphs for myself into Pages. Which is what got me searching online tonight.
I re-downloaded the same PDF. When first opened in Preview, the Find and copy/paste functions worked. Same thing in Acrobat reader and Acrobat Pro. After confirming this, I re-opened it in Preview, highlighted some text and closed. It asked to Save Changes and I did. I immediately re-opened it, and guess what? Find no longer works and neither does copy/paste. Just to be sure, I tried re-opening in Acrobat reader and Pro; same thing. No copy/paste, corrupted Find feature. Well, copy/paste sort of functions, its just that it pastes a square with an alien head in it that says "Private Use 100000 Plane 16".
And finally, on some PDFs that have not even been saved in Preview, the Find function is not working properly also. It happened on the re-downloaded PDF I just talked about. It finds many instances of the word, bit the left and right arrows next to "Found on X# Pages are greyed out and do not move through the document. Once I go to the left pane that displays page thumbnails and click on a few different ones, THEN it starts working.
So yes, Apple, Preview is corrupting PDF files upon save, AND it is not working properly on other files. Please fix this. PLEASE.
And my specs are the same as Gary; iMac 27 inch Late 2009, Yosemite 10.10.1. Is ANYONE else having this issue with a different Mac?

How to create an applet that shows a pdf as non-editable.

Hi friends,
Does any one know how to create an applet that shows a pdf document (should make that pdf a non-editable one) while clicking a link.Its urgent for me as I have to complete this one tomorrow itself...please help me...
I am able to view the pdf document but that cannot be make a non-editable one.
Can anyone gave me the code for that one....please I am not very much good in Java.

PDF is a proprietary format and Java doesn't support it by default. Are you using a 3rd party tool to create the PDF? If so, you need to review the developer docs to see how to make the document non-editable. Frankly, I don't see why you're using an Applet to view a PDF in the first place. What exactly are you trying to do. I'm confused.

PDF document in a Swing Applet?

How can you display a PDF document in a Swing Applet?

I have implemented a document archiving solution that provides a Swing UI to search a database for available documents. All the documents in the archive are in the PDF format. To accomplish this I use an html frameset where a Swing applet is displayed in one frame and the PDF document is displayed in the lower frame. I use LiveConnect to have my javascript communicate with the applet. My applet calls a javascript function that causes the URL of the lower frame point to the PDF document. This works fine, but I would rather use an all Java UI instead of depending on the browser and javascript.
How can we get Adobe or Sun to address this need?

Write PDF file to client's machine using Applet

Hi all,
I want to use Java Applet to write a PDF file into the client's computer when he/she double click the URL in browser. Can I do that and HOW. I heard that i need to signed the applet and make security manager enable, but how to do it?
Also, is it any different to do this for IE5X and NS4X browser?
Thanks for your information.

Hi,
I don't know how to do that with a signed applet (excepting if you want to write in the PDF format), but you can do this with a script (like asp) and an active X written with VB. You can build and manipulate Word or Excel Object with VB and so build dynamically your document.
When your document is ready (in the active X), you can use the distiller from acrobat (you need a license to use it) and you can create a new file on your hard drive (server side).
Your script will do the following:
1) load (createobject) the active X
2) call the method in the active x
3) redirect the client to the correct page (the new document you created)
I don't have any code to give you, but I did the same thing last year and it worked...
I think that you can also interact between an applet and an active X (I saw something like that in the forum)...
Of course this solution is running server side (the file will be created server side) but the client will be able to see his document in his browser and will be able to save it.
I hope that it can help you even if it is not with java...

Applet + Serialized Object + PDF == ??

I have an applet that serializes a transport bean to a servlet on tomcat, based on the contents of the bean, the servlet makes a PDF that I want to display on the browser.
I had thought that if I simply set the response MIME type and return the binary data, the browser would know what to do. Silly me, but I forgot that in this case the applet is the one in control, not the browser. The browser screen just sits there. At least this is what I am guessing...
Here is the code that I use to send the serialized object :
    public InputStream sendPostMessage (Properties args) throws IOException
        String argString = ""; // default
        if (args != null)
            argString = toEncodedString (args); // notice no "?"
        URLConnection con = servlet.openConnection ();
        // Prepare for both input and output
        con.setDoInput (true);
        con.setDoOutput (true);
        // Turn off caching
        con.setUseCaches (false);
        // Work around a Netscape bug
        con.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        // Send headers
        sendHeaders (con);
        // Write the arguments as post data
        DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream (con.getOutputStream ());
        out.writeBytes (argString);
        out.flush ();
        out.close ();
        return con.getInputStream ();
    }Here is the question...
Given the fact that I am serializing an object to the servlet, and that the applet is sitting there.. Is there a way to make the Browser display the PDF?
I have my doubts about ShowDocument(URL) as I am generating the PDF on the fly without using a temporary file. (Jasper reports) In addition, aren't there sandbox issues on the server side for creating a file?
Any other ideas?

I think that IS what I will have to do but, I was hoping to use the PDF binary stream coming directly from the servlet.
I guess this isn't possible?

Applet snapshot to pdf

Hello guys,
I need your help to solve my question.
I embedded a applet into my jsf application.
My applet retrieve and show data from my jsf application.
I need to add a button to my applet, clicking on it a snaphost of applet must be generated into a pdf,
so what I need is exporting applet (as image) to a pdf.
Could you help me to show me which is the best way to do it or some simple code?
Thanks,
Regards

See [Capture image of component|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2434] for one way. Unless you have a servlet to accept the image and produce a PDF the user knows what to do with, or are running this applet in a 1.6.0_10+ JRE and using the [webstart file services|http://pscode.org/jws/api.html#fs], it will probably need to be digitally signed, and trusted, to save a PDF to the local file system.
Edit 1:
..signed, trusted.. also to use the Robot, as suggested by the 1st reply.
