Hi Roberto and Bala,
Sorry, I was thinking the wrong way!!
Please can you check my source, I a'm get an error by opening the new window. the error : D:\PDFfromJava.pdf (The system cannot find the file specified)
this my source:
    //@@begin wdDoInit()
    wdContext.currentPersonalDataElement().setFirstName("Richard");
    wdContext.currentPersonalDataElement().setLastName("Middelburg");
     Document document = new Document();
     try {
      PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("D:
PDFfromJava.pdf"));
       document.open();
       document.add(new Paragraph("Hi, this is demo PDF file from JAVA!"));
     catch(DocumentException de) {
     //     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(de.getMessage(),false);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setTest("fout1");
     }catch(IOException ioe) {
     //     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(ioe.getMessage(),false);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setTest("fout2");
     File file = new File("D:
PDFfromJava.pdf");// from iText library
     try
          IWDResource wr = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(getBytesFromFile(file), "PDF Report", WDWebResourceType.PDF);
          IWDWindow w = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(wr.getUrl(0), "PDF Report");
          w.show();
     catch (Exception e)
          wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), false);
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setTest("fout3");
    //@@end
//@@begin others
  public static byte[] getBytesFromFile(File file) throws IOException {
                InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
                // Get the size of the file
                long length = file.length();
                // You cannot create an array using a long type.
                // It needs to be an int type.
                // Before converting to an int type, check
                // to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
                if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
                     // File is too large
                // Create the byte array to hold the data
                byte[] bytes = new byte[(int)length];
                // Read in the bytes
                int offset = 0;
                int numRead = 0;
                while (offset < bytes.length
                         && (numRead=is.read(bytes, offset, bytes.length-offset)) >= 0) {
                     offset += numRead;
                // Ensure all the bytes have been read in
                if (offset < bytes.length) {
                     throw new IOException("Could not completely read file "+file.getName());
                // Close the input stream and return bytes
                is.close();
                return bytes;
  //@@end
