ITS: How to download a PDF file and provide it with a filename !??

Hi everybody,
I habve created an Zservice that Prints spools requests. Now it should be extend to allow download as a pdf file as well.
What are the options here !?
I am aware of mime-download and it works fine but it has certain limitations despite it opens up the pdf just fine the in IE window.
-- No custom filename can be provided
-- Opens up in the same window can only escape w/ back button
I would need something that would allow the following:
-- Either to select file location etc. or being abale to set correct file location
-- Possible open pdf file in a new window...
I assume that a combination of different things need to be done here...
Any suggestions !?
Cheers,
CN

Hey David,
that seems about what I would need :
Open or saving it in a separated dialog/window/application
Being able to provide a filename (which can be a BHtml variable)
But I do not have a clue how I can get it implemented ...what needs to be done !?
Although iot seems to be the way to go...but how !??
Cheers,
Chris

  • How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images

    I am new to Indesign Server.
    I'm currently working on a pdf.
    I have a white blank pdf template.
    that I want to attach/glue it with images.
    How to open a pdf file and then attach it with images.
    Please, help me.
    Thanks.

    First step would be to make yourself familiar with InDesign desktop version.
    Whatever you intend to achieve, do it there manually. (see regular app docs or forums)
    Then try to automate your steps with scripting (see scripting docs or forum)
    If you can do it with a script in the desktop version, that script will likely also run in ID Server. (see server forum).
    If you can specify missing features not achievable thru scripting or manual use, reconsider to write a plugin (this forum).
    A seasoned C++ programmer will need a few months to learn the basics, wade thru tons of documentation etc. Alternatively consider to hire a consultant to do the development work for you.

  • How to download a pdf file

    I have a page with a link for download a pdf file, I want click the link, just download this file. do not need view it. (look like 'save target as' fuction)
    How can I do this?

    the save as or view of documents that you download are handled by the browser. If there is a registered viewer for your kind of documents, then the viewer will be used. Only way I can think of how to solve this is by fooling the browser and let it think that its a type it doesnt know, e.g.
    response.setContentType("arghhh/doesnotwanttobesaved");

  • How to download a .pdf file from a JavaMail application?

    hi to all,
    iam unable to download a .pdf file from a mailserver using
    my javamail application.i have downloaded all kind of files except .pdf.
    my code snipnet:
    public static void dumpPart(Part p) throws Exception {
    //     if (p instanceof Message)          dumpEnvelope((Message)p);
              System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());
              Object o = p.getContent();
              if (o instanceof String) {
                   System.out.println("This is a String");
                   System.out.println((String)o);
                   } else if (o instanceof Multipart) {
                        System.out.println("This is a Multipart");
                        Multipart mp = (Multipart)o;
                        int count = mp.getCount();
    System.out.println("****************************************");
    System.out.println("count" + count);
    System.out.println("****************************************");
                        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
                             System.out.println("CONTENT-TYPE: " + p.getContentType());

                             InputStream is = (InputStream)o;
                             String filename=System.currentTimeMillis()+".exe     ";
                             FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(filename);
                             int c;
                             while ((c = is.read()) != -1)
                                  //System.out.write(c);
                                  fos.write((char)c);
    }//dumpPart
    what's wrong with this code?

    fos.write((char)c);Converting the byte to a char is unnecessary and probably harmful. Just do this: fos.write(c);

  • How do I open PDF files and links

    How do I open PDF links and PDF files, heeelp! This is very confusing, I've tried everything (such as installing adobe reader etc) and nothing works for me, I'm very dissapointed with Apple right now, this suck! I'm studing and I really need this function to work for me!

    You don't need to, and should not, install any software to view PDF's. They open in Safari from the web, or in Preview from the Finder.

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • Unable to download a pdf file. received message-problem with program with acrobat reader-103-103

    unable to download a pdf file using acrobat reader X. received message-there is a proble with program with acrobat reader 103-103.

    Download the file with your web browser (Safari, Firefox, Chrome). Then attempt to open the PDF file in Reader or Acrobat.
    It may not be a real PDF file, or it may be damaged.

  • How to download converted PDF file?

    I've recently signed up for converting PDF files to Excel.  I have converted my 1st file.  However, when I click the download icon, nothing happens.  How do I download my converted file into Excel?

    Download: you just download it as you would any other document.
    Convert to Word: either using the ExportPDF online service, or Acrobat.

  • How to Print a PDF file and Close the ACrobat Reader opened using WEBUTIL

    Hi All,
    I have used WEBUTIL successfully and printed files using webutil_host.nonblocking builtin. What happens is that after printing the file the Acrobat reader stays on the desktop of the client PC. How to close that file opened programmatically. I am unable to close it using any any commands or using following builtins from WEBUTIL.
      WEBUTIL_HOST.RELEASE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID)
      WEBUTIL_HOST.TERMINATE_PROCESS(PROCESS_ID);My command to directly call the Acrobat reader file and print it is by using this command.
      M_STR_COMMAND    := 'cmd.exe /c start AcroRd32.exe /t '||CHR(34)||FILE_STR_PATH||'\'||FILE_NAME||CHR(34)||' '||CHR(34)||PRINTER_NAME||CHR(34);Help in this regard is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I think if you use the start-command, the execution is asynchronously and you won't get the correct process-id. Try to execute Acorbat directly without the cmd /c start in front of it.

  • How to open a PDF-File in a browser with 50% screen view and without any modification rights?

    Hello everyone,
    i have the following problem. I would like to open a PDF-file on my web-page in a new window but this file should be shown without any option to Print, Save, Copy or resizing option (Increase and Decrease in percentage size).
    Is this actually possible. The perfect solution would be if the the buttons to print, save, copy, increase/decrease would not only be disabled but completely blinded out. My perfect solution would look like below so that the user can only navigate through the pages but he/she cannot do anything else.
    Hopefully, someone can help me out.
    Thank's a lot,
    Jo

    Hi Alexandre,
    I don't think this is possible with the current APIs that
    HTMLLoader exposes. (Unless webkit supports object tags that takes
    the source data in base 64 encoded form, which I think is unlikely)
    But it is a good feature to have. Please file a feature
