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?

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

Unable to download images in a swing applet (1.3.1) behind proxy

Hi
One of my client have a proxy server and firewall and when they try to access my webserver
then all the AWT applet are downloaded and rendered on client properly. However, the swing applet written
using JDK 1.3.1 is downloaded and rendered but it doesn't display anything properly as images
are not down loaded. I have used media tracker to add images to it like oMediaTracker.addImage( oImage, index );
and then oMediaTracker.waitForAll();
Java console display at client looks as follows:

I can't set the plugin at client to use automatic script just like IE browser uses. This option is not supported in JRE1.3.1. Looks to be supported in JRE1.4.1. My client doesn't want to set manual proxy ip and port in plugin as they don't want to reveal this info to everyone within the company for security reason.
Q.2. Why some classes like PanelBeanInfo.class, JAppletBeanInfo.class are downloaded
from my server while it doesn't exist at my webserver. Any thing stupid IE or plugin doing
at client. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ratan

Thanks to Mike and other friends who already replied on this topic.
Here is my research analysis:
Answer to Question 1:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The solution is to bundle all the images with JAR. Bundle with jar whichever needs it. However, it might require duplicacy.
Image img = null;
try
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource(fileName));
catch (Exception e) { }
In this case make sure that you have image at the same location where you access it. For example if you have to access an image in package class com.awt.ui.MyClass then your image should also be at location ..\com\awt\ui
Note: It will require image duplicacy in your JAR but it solves the problem. It gives the advantage of fewer download from server.
Answer to Question 2:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IE treats applet as an active-X and try to look for these classes in your JAR. SUN has stopped its support in JDK1.3.1 and plus. What one can do is to create dummy classes with these names and bundle it with your JAR. You have to create these dummy classes if you enable Basic authentication on your web server then browser will try to look for these classes on the server and continue to prompt you for login and password. It might bother your customer un-necessarily to enter login and password too many times prompted by plug-in (plug in).

If you have a link to the URL pointing to the PDF file, you can allow the browser to open it. Then use the print function of the browser to print the PDF document.

Swing Applets and javascript

I'm writing a swing applet to do some rich text editing, mainly bolding, italicizing, etc as well as support for special characters (greek letters, etc). Rather than using the HTMLEditor kit (which I've heard suspect things about), I am going through the document tree and creating a corresponding HTML version of the string (inserting HTML entities based on position in the document). I am planning on exposing these to the client via javascript, but I have run into some problems with document.applets.appletName.publicMethodName. I've gotten this to work on IE for the PC. I am aware that there are some issues with the Sun plug-in for Netscape on PC. An additional complication is that this needs to work on a Macintosh as well. Does anyone know if the MRJ plugin supports this behavior (for both IE and Netscape)? Is there a better way to go about doing this, rather than using javascript to expose the HTMLized version of the string? Thanks in advance.
Tim

You must to check if the mrj plug-in is the same version to the jre1.3, because the jre 1.3 supports the javascript events. other way is incorporate in your applet the javascript class, in the next web page you will find the js.jar http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download/

What is involved in removing an image from a PDF document and inserting a new one?

Our form producing process is very typical:
(1) Start with a TIFF image, create a fresh PDF document.
(2) By adding items such as links and interactive fields, convert the read-only document into an interactive form.
Step (2) may take a lot of work, but fortunately when modifications are needed, it is always possible to edit the individual items. No need to redo the whole form from scratch.
There are some cases, however, in which we have invested a substantial amount of work in Step (2), but we need to modify the underlying image, removing it and replacing it with a new one. We obviously don't want to destroy all the work done in (2).
I envision the procedure as taking a rug from underneath a person and putting a new one.
What is involved in doing that? Can that be done at the JavaScript level? Are there commercial packages that can do that? Is the Acrobart SDK required?

A pdf document created in cs5 cannot be printed in duplex on a pc without cs5 or adobe reader pro

Hi!
there is a "normal" cs5 created pdf document.
the installed cs5 pc -> i can print in duplex on every printer, without cs5 installed duplex printing not possible.
I am searching for a solution to print the pdf document in duplex mode on every printer, but only with the latest freeware version adobe xi 11.0.3.
(If i install adobe cs4 on a pc it is possible to print the document in duplex mode on a hp3525 printer, but duplex is not possible on a ricoh printer for example mpc5502.)
I cant upload the file, because its bigger than 2 mb. (5mb)
Is there anybody out there for help.
If you need the file, i´ll send 2 u.
thx

Yep, it definitely is a complicated workflow... But I'm not really sure of any other way to get from the 34" wide pattern to the home-sewing version which is split into pages and has alignment marks and whatnot. I'm very much an amateur that has figured it out as I went
I went through the page in the photo pretty thoroughly with the layer panel and I couldn't find any mystery lines... But I did find something interesting; when I click on any of the pattern lines, it shows the whole line of the pattern piece, which extends well past the edge of the artboard. So when I'm printing the poster-sized PDF to 7.5x10 pages, it's keeping all the anchor points of a line even if only a small piece of that is on the actual page.
Does this help? I've included the page in the photo as well http://www.putlocker.com/file/DADB4759DBB860D8
Thanks again to everyone!
Also, should I be keeping all the files I'm editing as .ai files and then only exporting to PDF for the very final product? I was doing that at first, but then using .pdf for the whole process didn't seem to make any difference.

Error message 'not a valid PDF document'

Hi folks,
my Z10 has trouble opening some PDF documents sent as email attachment. When I try to open them the error message appears:
Important message
The document cannot be opened because it is not a valid PDF document
There is no BES10 Service involved in my environment. Mails are synced with with active sync.
OS Version: 10.2.0.429
Any suggestion appreciated.
Best regards,
RAUMPATROUILLE

Stuffit is the only app I know of which can decompress its own format. Your Windows clients must use the free Expander to open them. Otherwise, use OS X's built in zip compression and they'll be able to open the files without the need of third party software. Right click on any item, or group of items and choose, "Compress xxx Items" (how it will read if more than one item is chosen).

Error while exporting to PDF document in OBIEE 11g

Hi
In OBIEE 11g we are facing an issue regarding exporting a few reports to pdf. It is resulting in following error: "Error generating PDF document".
The reports are placed on a dashboard which has a prompt too. However, when we remove the prompts, the export is working fine.
We will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like this is a sort of known bug with PDF creator in 11g. Try implementing the below solution:
To configure the Javahost service, edit the Javahost service configuration parameters in the
instanceconfig.xml file. The parameters are
identified by their relative path starting from the /WebConfig/ServerInstance node
For example:
<JavaHost>
<PDF>
<InputStreamLimitInKB>50000</InputStreamLimitInKB>
</PDF>
</JavaHost>
After changes restart Siebel Analytics Java Host and Siebel Analytics Web services
If it doesn't work try to create same report in xml publisher as presentations services in obiee has limited capacities in printing out reports.
Refer to this thread for related useful information: Error in creating a PDF
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
-Amith.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document shows up blank, even though it is filled out. This also happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me.

When I open a pdf document from my dropbox to view it, the document appears blank, even though I know the information is actually there. This also has happened with pdf documents that have been e-mailed to me, then opened to view and they are blank?? Why are they showing up blank?

When I open emails with PDFs I click on the attachment (doing this all on my iPad) it gives me the option to "open in iBooks", I accept then after that the document is sucked into my iPad but I can't do anything with the PDF after that. Where is the actual file on my iPad? Why can't I email or send these PDFs to my cloud (Dropbox)?
It's like once they go into iBooks they're stuck forever.

After I do this, the "Convert To" box goes "gray" and I am unable to convert the document I have selected. It was working great for the first week that I used it, but now it doesn't give me the converting option. I am very frustrated as I have done nothing to change anything, and I was thinking this was so great...now I am just pulling out my hair and do not have the option of calling anyone since no phone numbers are listed. I am VERY busy and do not have time to sit and wait over a half an hour to "chat", which I tried to do yesterday. All I want to do is very simply, convert pdfs to Word. I have paid for this and am not getting any help. I am not very savvy when it comes to Adobe this program and Adobe that program...I feel I am being scammed as I do not get simple answers for something that appeared was going to be simple. You can't even call customer service to talk to someone live to help walk you through.

Hello Kathie,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Please let me know if you have tried converting any other PDF to word with Reader.
Alos, please sign up at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/" using your Adobe ID credentials. Click on 'ExportPDF' tab and upload the PDF that you want to convert to Word.
Let me know if this converts fine.
Hope to hear from you.

Specifying pdf document's name in browser - content-disposition problem

Hello ,
I want to open a PDF document in browser, which needs to have a specified filename when user tries to save it.
My web app sends an "application/pdf" document back to the browser.
I use the Content-Disposition HTTP header to instruct the browser to open the document inline, i.e. using the appropriate plugin, which is Adobe PDF in this case. When the user clicks Save As..., the document filename needs to be the one specified by the same HTTP header. Here is the code:
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
String contentDisposition = "inline; filename=\"filename.pdf\"";
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
response.setHeader ("Content-Length",new Long(file.length()).toString());Unfortunately this does not work for me. Document opens fine, but I can't get it to have the name I specified. The plugin uses the default name, which is the full URL of the document. I tried several combinations of HTTP headers, but neither worked. I tried putting an additional GET request parameter at the end of the URL, like ...&filename=filename.pdf , but that didn't work either.
I tried Adobe 7.0 and 8.1.2.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much for your answer.
Needless to say I tried opening the document in IE, FF and Chrome, and neither worked.
I had a look at the code at your web site, and saw that you were serving files for direct download: Content-Dispositoin:attachment... .
This works fine for me too, and the filename is recognized correctly in that case. The problem is, I want to display the PDF inline...
My server is not configured for URL rewriting, and I would be probably quite some problem to make this app work with it, so the /filename.pdf is not an option for me.
