How to display PDF on each device

We observed some mobile devices don't open the PDF directly and start to download.
Does this depend on OS, Browser or something else?
We tested iPhone and Android.
Android starts to dawnload PDF by clicking PDF on our application. User has to open the PDF after downloading.
iPhone opens the PDF directly by clicking PDF on our application.
We would like to ristrict to use our application if user cannot open PDF directly.
Please advise how we can get this kind of information.

Thank you for your reply.
I tested with below conbinations.
iPhone and Chrome, the result is PDF is not opened.
iPhone and Safari, the PDF shows Preview screen.
Android and firefox, the PDF is downloaded.
I would like to get the infromation about the behaivour of PDF on smart phone with various combinations such as OS and Brower, and then each version of OS and Browser.
I am very sorry but I cannot speak English well.
I am not sure whether I can tell what I would like to know.
If somebody can answer in Japanese, it is also very helpful me.
Of cource I will try to understand if it is written in English.
Thank you.

Are you testing what the behavior is from within the browser on the device? If so, then yes, iOS and Android behave differently.
On Android browsers will download the file to the /mnt/sdcard/Downloads folder, and also post a notification to the system notification tray. If the user taps the notification, it will trigger the "open in" behavior. The user can also open their download manager to see the downloaded files, or on devices that have file browsers, they can open that to find the file.
In the Android Email apps I've used, the user can tap the attachment to download it, then tap a "view" button to view it from directly within the application.
On iOS, the browser will show a 'preview' of the PDF, with the option to "Open In..." in the top toolbar. There is a similar behavior for the Email apps...you tap the attachment to initiate a download, then tap it to open the preview, which contains the "Open In..." button.
These are behaviors of how the browser and OS behave. If you have your own custom installed application, you can do things differently, but I'm not sure quite exactly what your goal is from this posting.

How to display Pdf file in iPad site

Hi
How to display Pdf file in web page which can able to view in iPad safari?
Thanks,
Arun

You can't really.
You need to use DHTML in the swf-wrapper HTML file, usually a
division wrapped iFrame, and load the PDF into the iFrame as an
overlay to the Flash.

How to display PDF in JSP using Iframe

Hi All,
I am using Struts 2. I am building my file in ActionClass with seperate Method like getGeneratedPDF() in which, I am setting header of response and writing into PDF.
This method will be called from JSP by this way
s:property value="getGeneratedPDF()" />
But It displayed Junk Characters , and this PDF is not static (already Generated). It is generated and build on Fly.
I have 2 questions 1 -- How to display PDF in JSP in proper way without Junk Character in it?
questions 2 -- How to display it in Iframe?
Please help me , If you know the solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Jimmy

It is generated and build on Fly.A PDF file is a binary file, not a text file, and you're trying to display it as String. Of course you would get "junk characters". Have you ever tried opening a binary file (pdf, doc, jpg, xls, etc) using a text editor like Notepad?
I have 2 questions 1 -- How to display PDF in JSP in proper way without Junk Character in it?Display it as binary stream, not as text stream. You can display it standalone, just let the link/form/addressbar URL point to some Servlet which writes the InputStream of the PDF file to the OutputStream of the response, along with a correct set of response headers (at least content-type, content-disposition and content-length), so that the browser can open it in the correct application (which is usually Acrobat Reader). If you want to embed the PDF file in a JSP, then one of the ways is indeed using the HTML <iframe> tag.
questions 2 -- How to display it in Iframe? Just let the iframe URL point to the aforementioned Servlet.
You can find here an example of a generic file servlet, you may find it useful to get the idea how to do it: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

How to display PDF on a page

Hi,
I have a pdf document out on intranet site that I would like to have a APex report link to that document.
This is how I defined the page:
Page type - URL
region source - http://www.xxx.xxx/../xxx.pdf
It took a long time to bring up the pdf and the document is displayed in the wrong format. Has anyone done it before? How can I display pdf in APEX?
Thanks,
Julie

Hello Julie,
Here is how I handle making my user's reference manual available from my application. It is a PDF stored like yours.
1. Define item as: Display as Text (excape special characters, does not save state)
2. Make your Label something like this: <a href="[http://www.mydomain.com/.../.../.../document.pdf] target="_blank">System User Manual</a> (substitute your link info of course)
target="_blank" opens the document in a new window.
3. Set Horizontal/Vertical Alignment appropriately (I use Left).
4. Template: Optional Label
The remaining items do not matter.
The things now that will dictate how long to download the PDF are, network speed on your end, network speed on the recipient end, network load, size of the PDF and the other normal things that cause a download to be slow.
Hope this helps,
Don

How to display pdf file with java code?

Hi All,
i have a jsp pagein that page if i click one icon then my backing bean method will call and that method will create pdf document and write some the content in that file and now i want to display that generated pdf document.
it should look like you have pressed one icon and it displayed pdf file to you to view.
java code below:
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "filename=\"" + temppdfFile);
resp.encodeRedirectURL(temppdfFile.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(temppdfFile, out);
out.flush();
and above temppdfFile is my generated pdf file.
when i am executing this code, it was opening dialog box for save and cancel for the file, but the name of the file it was showing me the "jsp file name" with no file extention (in wich jsp file i am calling my backing bean method) and type is "Unknown File type" and from is "local host"
it was not showing me open option so i am saving that file then that file saved as a pdffile with tha name of my jsp file and there is nothing in that file(i.e. empty file).
what is the solution for this. there is any wrong in my code.
Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance

public Object buildBarCodes() throws Exception
File bulkBarcodes = null;
String tempPDFFile = this.makeTempDir();
File tempDir = new File("BulkPDF_Files_Print");
if(!tempDir.exists())
tempDir.mkdir();
bulkBarcodes = File.createTempFile
(tempPDFFile, ".pdf", tempDir);
//bulkBarcodes = new File(tempDir, tempPDFFile+"BulkBarcode"+"."+"pdf");
if(!bulkBarcodes.exists())
bulkBarcodes.createNewFile();
Document document = new Document();
FileOutputStream combinedOutput = new FileOutputStream(bulkBarcodes);
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, combinedOutput);
document.open();
document.add(new Paragraph("\n"));
document.add(new Paragraph("\n"));
Image image = Image.getInstance(bc.generateBarcodeBytes(bc.getBarcode()));
document.add(image);
combinedOutput.flush();
document.close();
combinedOutput.close();
FacesContext facesc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext ec = facesc.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline: BulkBarcodes.pdf");
resp.encodeRedirectURL(bulkBarcodes.getAbsolutePath());
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setBufferSize(10000000);
ServletOutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
ServletUtils.returnFile(bulkBarcodes, out);
out.flush();
return "success";
This is my action method which will call when ever i press a button in my jsp page.
This method will create the barcode for the given barcode number and write that barcode image in pdf file
(i saw that pdf file which i have created through my above method, This PDF file opening when i was opening manually and the data init that is also correct means successfully it writes the mage of that barcode)
This method taking the jsp file to open because as earlier i said it was trying to open unknown file type document and i saved that file and opended with editplus and that was the jsp file in which file i am calling my action method I mean to say it was not taking the pdf file which i have created above it was taking the jsp file

How to display PDF in slideshow, without returning to the first page or stall/halt on the last page?

Hi,
I want to display PDF's with multiple pages as a slideshow.
This is possible with a default Adobe Reader and have this working for ONE pdf file.
But I want do display multiple PDF's as a slideshow, the one after the other.
In Adobe Reader you can define to return to the first page again or it automatically 'stalls/halts' at the last page.
But I want Adobe Reader to close after the last page is displayed so it continues (in a simple DOS-script) with a second, third, etc. PDF to be displayed.
Is this possible?
What kind of simple DOS-script kan be used or an other reader/utility?
Thanks in advance!
Gunther

Hi Bernd,
I was looking for ways to script this kind of solution.
But do not have good results. There are tools to combine pdf's into one large pdf - but mostly to be selected by hand.
We need it in a scriptable way to automate.
Additionally, we want to be able to combine different types of documents to rotate as a slide show (so not only PDF's but also pictures or other output).
If you or someone else have such scripts, it will be highly appreciated.
Regards

How to display pdf file on curve 8520..

y is pdf file not displayed on curve 8520.. how to make it happen

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
For the time that a PDF remains an email attachment, you can render it on the BB. Once detached or otherwise not an email attachment, the attachment service no comes into play...and you require a 3rd party app to render it. There are several. I suggest you search AppWorld and other search sources, compare the various alternatives, and select the one that best meets your needs. You will likely find the DataViz apps as well as BeamReader and perhaps others.
Good luck!

How to display pdf file in flex application

hi,
I am Ibran, I am using Flex4.5, in that i want to display a pdf file like images.
How can i do it please anyone tell me.
I have used navigateToURL(url),but this was going into navigation and i can't see my textfield and buttons.
So without this navigateToURL(url) how can i display a pdf file in flex without navigation so that i can see my textInputs and buttons.

Flash does not have the ability to load/display/manipulate PDF files, so you can't open it directly in the flex application. With clever HTML and javascript, you can make it appear that it is in the same window, but it will actually be in a separate window/div in the browser. And yes, this has always seemed absurd to me that Adobe doesn't support PDF's......
