PDF Viewer component that works in NetBeans VWP

Hi All,
I am looking for a PDF Viewer Component that will work with NetBeans VWP. Ideally, this would be something that I could load into the Pallette and drop on a web form for use, then dynamically call up a document for display within the control. (Actually, IDEALLY, this would be a multi-document viewer, i.e. PDF's Word files, text files, etc.). It does not have to be a free tool - though free would be nice. I have checked out the Acrobat Viewer Java Bean but from everything I can find on that, it appears to be something that can be used in Java Apps, but not web apps. If I am wrong about this, can someone please correct me and link to web app usage (as applied to VWP - JSP & JSF).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I noticed a lot of references to IText on this forum and I'm in the process of checking it out now. But I have not seen anything on IText regarding an actual viewer component.
Thanks,
Dennis

I don't believe iText has a viewer as I know of. If Adobe has a java bean then you can create an applet for the client side to display the viewer.

PDF viewer doesn't work in FF 36.0.4 for Mac

Macbook Pro with Yosemite and FF 36.0.4: Built in PDF viewer no longer works. Clicking on PDF links in search engines does not bring up the built in viewer.
Restoring FF 35 restores the PDF viewer.

I understand that the PDF viewer in Firefox is no longer working. I have reset the application settings for the pdf file mimetype in the Firefox Application settings.
*[[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
If the default continues not to work after resetting this setting, please check out a work around:
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

The default PDF viewer does not work

I understand Firefox has a default PDF viewer, but it is not working on my Mac OS 10.6.8. When I click on a pdf document, nothing happens.

When you click a link to a PDF you get a blank page, or a black background with an empty progress bar, or you get absolutely nothing at all?
Can you try changing your setting as described in the following article to launch the PDF outside Firefox and see whether that works? After that test, you can change back and try the internal viewer again. [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]]
Any luck?

How to register a PDF Viewer application to work fine with IE

(Working on Windows 7 Pro x64 / IE 8)
I've developped my own PDF minimalist reader application (to run on kiosk PCs) and I cannot make it work fine with IE. Every time i try to follow a pdf file link in a web page, IE ask me if I want to open or to save the file. working on kiosk PCs, i don't
want the final users to be able to click "Save" in order to prevent them from browsing drives !
When using Adobe Reader on the PC, clicking a pdf link results in the file opened automatically in Adobe Reader.
Here is what I've added to the registry :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf]
@="PCLSPDFViewer.Document"
"Content Type"="application/pdf"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithProgids]
"PCLSPDFViewer"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.pdf\OpenWithList\pclsPDFViewer.exe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document]
@="Ducment PCLS PDFViewer"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\PCLSPDFViewer.Document\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/pdf]
"Extension"=".pdf"ege
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\pclsPDFViewer.exe]
@="C:\\pcls\\pclspdfviewer.exe"
What did I missed ?

Hi
Chris RENAUD 768,
First of all the PDF files should be set to be read by the application you developed by default.
To set the default program:
Control panel \Programs \Default Programs \Associate a file or protocol with a program
In IE8 There used to be a key called HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} which stored the File Types that could either
Auto-Open or not. We can create a .bat file to automatically add a value here to achieve the goal.
The code is as following:
@ECHO OFF
reg query HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
if "%ERRORLEVEL%" EQU "1" (
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" /f /v "PDF.File" /t REG_NONE
Note: Please Back up the registry before you modified the registry and delete the key {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} if it has existed in the registry before you ran the .bat file.
Best regards

Default pdf Viewer does not work correctly

On this pdf, page 1 will not display, but displays fine in IE and Chrome. If you download the pdf, it displays just fine. So the issue is definitely FireFox, here is the url:
http://www.powergatellc.com/pdfs/SNP-G12.pdf
On this pdf, the Firefox has added grey boxes around the images. These boxes do not appear in IE or Chrome or when you download the file, here is the url:
http://www.powergatellc.com/pdfs/SNP-G20.pdf
Problems these are all throughout my client's website with a library of over 700 pdfs. This is causing major issues. Please tell me you are aware of these issues and already working on a fix, otherwise, I will have no choice but to put a disclaimer on the website to not use FireFox, which would look bad to the client and FireFox.
Please advise as soon as you can.
Gorden
We are seeing thiss isue on Windows 7 PC's running current revs of FireFox.

We have this problem as well. Unfortunately after years of only supporting IE and finally rewriting our site to be standards compliant we are going to have to force users back to IE because of this issue. It's not feasible for us to walk users through changing the default viewer. The default should stay Adobe (if installed) until a more robust native version is available. I understand you want to promote free and open tools but if they don't work, it's just not good enough.

How do I get PDF viewer to work?

Since I downloaded FF 19,my PDF viewers (none of them,I downloaded Adobe,Foxit)DO NOT WORK.What can I do?I had Adobe on before and NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS,until FF decided to force their PDF viewer on us,which doesn't do the job.Ridiculous!!!

Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask in "Firefox > Options > Applications".
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

List view component not being ordered

I am using the list view component to represent my table data. for creating a new row, i use a popup which has a separate taskflow in which i create a new row. Now i need to refresh the list view component after this new row is created. I am doing that using contextual events. I just re execute the query of the vo based on which the list view component is made. But in order to get the in memory rows, i set the view objects query mode to scan view rows as well as entity based rows. This however makes the vo query's order by clause to not work. I am not sure why but the list view data is no longer ordered.
Also if anyone has any idea how to refresh the entire list view component, that is load data again, it would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
Jithesh

Hey,
I'm new at this so i'm going to try to help (although it problably won't work or do what you want).
You said you want to refresh the entire list view component, well, normally i have my views/data controls connected to a binding variable in my bean class and if i want to update something (lets say a selection) i use this code:
AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(dimFactSales);
dimFactSales = variable binded to one of my views.
Hope that helps,
Frederico.

Safari PDF viewer

I download a lot of pdfs. But I don't want to view them in the pdf viewer contained within Safari. Is there any way to turn off the safari pdf viewer so that when I click on a link to download the pdf, it will download it to the folder that I specified?
thanks, Anthony

What I forgot to mention is that control-click does not work. These pdfs are from science journals that are liscenced to the institution I am at. When I control click it, it downloads something that has the extension .htm and when I click on this, it takes me directly to the web page to view the pdf in the viewer. I just don't like the hasel of opening the pdf in the viewer then saving the pdf to a folder on my computer. Before the viewer was installed in Safari, I used just click on the link and it would download it to wherever I wanted. I was just hoping there was some way to turn "off" the pdf viewer.
thanks, Anthony

Need a PDF viewer - how to get premium version of the ToGo apps when I don't have a TELUS data plan

Hey all ...
Is there a way to download and install a premium version of the ToGo apps (or just the PDF Viewer component - I searched the latter term and found one relevant thread wherein sdgardne had made reference to the premium ToGo apps) on my device from an installation executable within the Windows environment?
Or at least get the necessary file onto the device via Windows?
Thanks, FFF

Unable to see Hyperion FR reports in PDF view.

Hi All,
We are using Hyperion 11.1.1.3 version .User can able to open the report in HTML view but not in PDF View.When users try to open the report in PDF view ,found that PDF view grayed out(disabled).we tried to change the file preference-->preview-->PDF preview,but still getting the same errror.pdf reader is installed in client machine and ghostscripts has installed in server machine.if its related to access issue ,I think there is no separate security access role for HTML View and PDF view.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance

We are facing the similar issue on only one user's machine. We have exactly same kind of machine with same verison of OS and PDF softwares installed, All other users are able to view is correctly. The effect user is able to open and view all pdf document from his machine or from Internet.
This seems to be more Individual Machine specific issue for us.
Any idea who we can go ahead in investigating or solution to fix this.

PDF viewer for Firefox?

Does anyone know how to view pdf files from the firefox browser? I downloaded the pdf viewer and it works with safari, but I usually use firefox.....
Thanks

moscowotters, the extension you referred to doesn't work as advertised on the Mac version of Firefox: it brings up the dialog as expected, but if you choose "Open PDF," the PDF still launches Adobe Reader or Preview, rather than opening the PDF in the browser.
Sadly, PDF viewing in the browser appears to be limited to Safari for the time being.
