Write PDF file to client's machine using Applet

Hi all,
I want to use Java Applet to write a PDF file into the client's computer when he/she double click the URL in browser. Can I do that and HOW. I heard that i need to signed the applet and make security manager enable, but how to do it?
Also, is it any different to do this for IE5X and NS4X browser?
Thanks for your information.

Hi,
I don't know how to do that with a signed applet (excepting if you want to write in the PDF format), but you can do this with a script (like asp) and an active X written with VB. You can build and manipulate Word or Excel Object with VB and so build dynamically your document.
When your document is ready (in the active X), you can use the distiller from acrobat (you need a license to use it) and you can create a new file on your hard drive (server side).
Your script will do the following:
1) load (createobject) the active X
2) call the method in the active x
3) redirect the client to the correct page (the new document you created)
I don't have any code to give you, but I did the same thing last year and it worked...
I think that you can also interact between an applet and an active X (I saw something like that in the forum)...
Of course this solution is running server side (the file will be created server side) but the client will be able to see his document in his browser and will be able to save it.
I hope that it can help you even if it is not with java...

Is there a way to download/view PDF files on the iPad without using another computer?

I just recently purchased the new iPad. I have also downloaded iBooks and a PDF reader. Is there any way to view and/or download PDF files from my iPad, without using an outside computer? Please help!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
One way is to get the GoodReader app. It has a built in web browser that allows you to web surf and download pdfs into GoodReader. You can read them in the GoodReader app or open them in other apps that can read pdfs.

Check IN a file from local user machine using Input file tag

Hi
We have created a webapplication using Oracle UCM. We have designed certain forms and want to give users an input field to upload images to content server.
I included a input type file tag in my form and on submit redirected to a JSPX.
I included on JSPX following tag when the form is submitted as follows
<wcm:idcService service="CHECKIN_NEW_FORM" var="fileUpload">
<wcm:idcParameter name="doFileCopy" value="1"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocName" value="Test_Aakash"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocTitle" value="Test_Aakash"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocType" value="Document"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dSecurityGroup" value="Public"/>
<wcm:idcParameter name="dDocAuthor" value="anonymous"/>
*<wcm:idcParameter name="primaryFile" value="C:/test.txt"/>*
</wcm:idcService>
I was hoping to pass primary path that a client will specify will allow the file to check in to the UCM server.But, to my dismay the tag expects that primary file be the path of file present on the Server and not on client machine accessing the webapplication.
How can I check in file from client local machine to UCM server. I found default IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW_FORM through web-application allows one to select primary file from his local machine. But, this not the case when i do the same using the tag above. Please help how can i achieve the desired result.
Thanks,
Aakash

How to retrieve system Information on client machine Using Applets

How to retrieve video card information on client machine using applets and JNI, please suggest me on this
Thanks
GReddy

1. Research platform specific OS API to do whatever you want with video cards
2. Write C/C++ code to wrap the functionality in 1 into something looks closer to what you want to see in java
3. Write a class that models the functionality of 2 with native methods.
4. Write the native methods of 3 such that they call the methods of 2.
Note that steps 1 and 2 have NOTHING to do with jni nor java. So you start by looking somewhere else for the answers to that.

Java applet writes to file on client, no signing necessary

Hi,
I wonder if this is a feature or bug:
I download and execute in my browser an unsigned applet/jar myCharts.jar from server. The applet references classes from package org.jfree.chart, which are not packed in myCharts.jar downloaded from server, but are locally stored on client in jre/lib/ext/jfreechart.jar (and therefore JVM running the applet loads and uses these local classes from local jar).
The applet can write the file to client disk without any problem using classes from locally loaded jfreechart.jar. If I merge both jars into a big one and load it through network, file write access is forbidden.
I am using JRE 1.5.0.3 for Windows and default java_policy file with 2 permissions added:
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers";
permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
Is it a bug, or feature ?
According to my opinion these 2 permissions should not result in applet ability to write files using locally loaded classes.
Thanks for your answer
Martin

The following is a duplicate posting in reponse to similar question:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=4&thread=200482&start=0&range=30#735223
In short, you cannot write to a server without help from servier-side software such as a servlet, cgi, ASP, etc.
If you go with something like an Oracle database on your server, it's a non-issue because the seucirty aspects are taken care of for you.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

Hello,
Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
[[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.

Why my safari browser is not opening pdf files?I'm currently using the lat 2013 macbook pro with os mavericks and all my software is uptodate?

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Client Server program using Applets for client

Creating a client server program using Applets for the clients.
Having problems distrubting the message from client to client
using ObjectOutputStreams/ObjectInputSteams.
I can connect each client to simple server and respond with by writting
the i/o stream of each client but unable to communicate from client to client. If any one out there has in tips of creating a class of objectOutputStreams that holds a array of ObjectOutputStreams and then broadcasts the message to every client, it would be much appreciated
Thanks.

Cheers poop for your reply
I never explained the problem properly. What it is I am trying to set up a Client Server program using Applets as the clients GUI. The problem is broadcasting the message to multiply client connnection(s).
Below is code, each client can connect and send message to the server. The problems is broadcasting the message to every client connection. The every client can input a message but only the last connected client can receive the message?????? Thanks in advance..

Copying client machine files into the Server BY Using APPLET

Hi there,
I created an applet which is DRAG and DROP enabled. In this applet content page i am dropping some file and trying to copy the same files in to the server. But when i am trying to save the files my code is saving the files in clients machine.
I thought we are embedding the applet in a browser and the applet is running in clients machine, so for the applet SERVER is the local machine and if we create any files then they will be created in SERVER machine.
But here the files are going to be saved in clients machine.
I SIGNED THE APPLET TO ACCESS THE CLIENT MACHINE FILES TO DRAG AND DROP INTO MY APPLET. THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM , BUT COPYING THE FILES FROM CLIENT MACHINE TO SERVER HAS BECOME A BIG PROBLEM
please any body can help in this regards?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
batta

I cannot see how you will copy files From the Applet to the Server.
The only method I know to transfer data from a Java-Applet-Client to a Server and back is with the named method "HTTP-Tunneling".
This means your, your applet made a connection e.q with a Java-Servlet wich resides on a Web-Server.
This Servlet than can write to the Server-Filesystem and respond to the Applet.
May be you can reach a Server with PHP, but I have not yet experience with this (I did not found anything about Servlet-Response to the Applet).
