Open a pdf in a swing jpanel

I have a url for a pdf file and I want to open that file in a swing jpanel.I have upgraded to Java 1.6.0_27 and previously had 1.5.0_06
In Java 1.5 ,I was using jdic to do this for that the user needed to download jdic setup on their desktop to view images
but now I dont find any documentaion for java 1.6.0_27 and jdic setup.So i thought of doing this without the jdic .In java 5, I was using the beow code to show the pdf in swing jpanel.This basically embedds pdf in a web browser and then add it to swing jpanel.
import org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.*;
import org.jdesktop.jdic.browser.internal.*;
WebBrowserUtil.enableDebugMessages(false);
WebBrowserUtil.getDebug();
WebBrowser webBrowser = null;
URL pdfURL = testUrils.getPdf("Pathof .pdf");
try {
webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
webBrowser.setDebug(false);
webBrowser.setURL(pdfURL);
} catch (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError el) {
catch (Exception e) {
//System.out.println(e.getMessage());
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getStackTrace());
JPanel pantestBrowser= new JPanel();
pantestBrowser.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
pantestBrowser.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(700, 500));
pantestBrowser.setLocation(0,0);
pantestBrowser.add(webBrowser, BorderLayout.CENTER);
I want to do the same thing without the jdic webbrowser.Is there a way out to do this?
I tried to do with java.awt.desktop
Desktop desktop=Desktop.getDesktop
desktop.browse(pdfurl.toURI())
This opens the pdf in a new adobe window and not inside the jpanel.
Thanks,

To be honest I don't find any documentation either, that would state jdic is independent of the JRE version (various links broken). But since jdic essentially provides a wrapping API to deal with native resources, I would assume it is relatively independant of changes that have occurred in the JRE between 1.5 and 1.6. At least I would try it :o)
So i thought of doing this without the jdic .In java 5, I was using the beow code to show the pdf in swing jpanel.This basically embedds pdf in a web browser and then add it to swing jpanel.Does this code work with 1.6?

This opens the pdf in a new adobe window and not inside the jpanel.Yes, as documented by the Javadoc.
Good luck.

hello
pls use to_date
If your session is set to default date format of DD-MON-YY, execute the following and you will receive the error message:
SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual;
ERROR:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
no rows selected
When you are converting a string to a date, you have specified that the date is being passed in DD-MM-YYYY format. But you have passed the date in DD-MON-YYYY format. As the month is expected as a number by oracle, but you have passed a character, oracle is unable to translate the string to a number.
Do one of the following:
SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
2 /
TO_DATE
20-JAN-2010
OR
SQL> select to_date('20-10-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual
2 /
TO_DATE
20-JAN-2010
or you can use alter sessin set nls_date_format='.....................';

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

How to generate pdf report in swing

Hello,

procedure . Please help me.

1) Add an upper case letter to the start of each sentence. This helps the reader to scan the text quickly, looking for the important parts. It also helps to dispel the impression that the writer is just lazy.
2) Try to do some research on your own, summarise it and state any conclusions you have reached. Ask a specific question and generally, try not to sound so pathetic.

How to print a PDF file from Swing(JFC/swing)

Hi,
I am able to dislay a PDF file in Swing but how can I print it from there. I want to do it without using Acrobat reader.

You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
"<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
For example"
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

Opening a PDF file from a swing application in MAC

HI everyone,
Actually I am developing a swing application which should be executable in both windows and Mac (even other) platformes. In my panel I have an icon which leads to a pdf file. I saw in the following thread:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=17&threadID=617767
that we can use
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + file);to open what ever file in windows. I want to know what should I do if this application is running on Mac or Linux! I have never worked with these OS so I do not have any idea how to resolve the problem.
Can anyone help me with this matter?? That would be really nice of you to reply :)
Thanx and have a great day.

Thank you for replaying so soon..
Well you are right by using a widget and etc.. but the problem is that I have been told that this application should open a PDF file that has bookmarks to each chapter of the text and one can make a search on this text by using pdf search.. So I do not have any other choice than opening a pdf :D and my time is unfortunately limit.
For solving the problem that the user may not have PDF reader.. well I have been told that user should install the pdf reader, so in my application package I am putting the installation file of PDF.
But going back to my problem.. I guess is someway I have to get the OS type of the user and I have to do a SWITCH or something on the OS type and then change the content of the Runtime.exec(). But the question is how can I get the OS type and what should I change in Runtime.exec().
So now any idea? any solution??

Font Size problem : Swing font looks smaller than pdf font

The problem is that the text in swing looks smaller than the same text in pdf. Is there a way to achieve

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.

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?

Create a PDF file from swing component and print

Hi,
Suppose i have a JFrame where in i add a JScrollpane which has a JPanel with some painting on it, suppose i want to create a pdf file of the total JPanel, and not of what i see on screen like taking a screen shot, or print the total JPanel, and not only the screen that is displayed
how can i do it
I am attaching the code below, how can i create a pdf for MyPanel and print it
//start code
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TestDisplaySize extends JFrame
     JScrollPane scrollPane ;
     public TestDisplaySize()
          super("layered pane");
          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
          MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
          scrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
          Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
          contentPane.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          setSize(new Dimension(800,600));
          this.setVisible(true);
          JViewport viewPort = scrollPane.getViewport();
     class MyPanel extends JPanel
          public MyPanel()
     setPreferredSize(new Dimension(2000,600) );
     this.setBackground(Color.white);
     this.setOpaque(true);
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
super.paintComponent(g);
setBackground(Color.white);
Rectangle r = scrollPane.getViewport().getViewRect();
g.setClip((Shape)r);
g.setColor(Color.blue);
int x = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
     x +=60;
     g.drawLine(x, 0, x, 600);
     g.drawString(String.valueOf(i), x, 50);
     public static void main(String args[])
     new TestDisplaySize();
//end code

create a class wich implements printable, redefine the print method of this class with the this you want to print
and at the end of the constructor...
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat myFormat = new PageFormat();
myFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
myFormat.setPaper(ps.getMyPaper());
printJob.setPrintable(this, myFormat);
if (printJob.printDialog()) {
try {
printJob.print();
} catch (Exception pe) {
System.out.println(pe);

Pdf print and view using swing

hello
i am created one pdf file from original pdf file with data using itext library,but now my problem is how can view this file and print this pdf file using swing printing api

but how to print?
Note: Just because the PDF DocFlavor exists doesn't mean you can use it to print a PDF file. When you lookup the PrintService for the PDF flavor,it will report unsupported flavor. That means there is no print service for the flavor. Sun doesn't provide one for PDF files. To the best of my knowledge,nobody else makes one available either. Until such a time as someone does,you can't print PDF files using the new Print Service API.
??? is there another way to print a pdf-file directly from filesystem without using the command line like:
C:\..\Acrobat 5.0\Reader>acrord32.exe/t test.pdf
thanks for replys
