Answer 1

So what you're saying is the PDF already exists on your web server, and all you want to do is navigate in the browser from your ADF application to the PDF, yes? If that's correct, let's assume you're PDF exists at:
http://www.acme.com/someCustomPath/myFantasticReport.pdf
Consider the <af:goButton> or <af:goLink> controls, which include the destination attribute. As such you'd do something like this:
<af:goButton destination="http://www.acme.com/someCustomPath/myFantasticReport.pdf"/>As you can see the "go" controls are for navigating to resources not inside your ADF application, while the "command" controls are reserved for navigation among resources in your application.
In order to generate the destination URL, just replace the destination attribute with an EL expression that retrieves it's value from a backing bean:
<af:goButton destination="#{myBean.giveMeTheUrl}"/>Regards,
