Controlling Acrobat functionality through servlet download.

Question

Hi,
I'm pushing a PDF through the ServletOutputStream so that it is displayed at the PC. The code (after I've got a ByteArrayInputStream with the PDF) is as follows:
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(bais.available());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + strFileName);
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
int fLength = bais.available();
for(int i=0;i<fLength;i++)
out.print((char)bais.read());
out.flush();
out.close();
This causes the PDF to be opened inline within the browser. I'd like to open it automatically within a seperate Acrobat window however.
Using:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileName);
doesn't help either - that just displays the open/save dialog.
Any ideas on how I could do this? Other web sites I'vefaccessed open acrobat instead of displaying the content inline - any ideas???

Answer 1

Why don't you open a new window and use the same logic in that page.
