Streaming PDF to browser...

DButtery

Hi all,

I am using the ReportEngine to generate a PDF report. In some cases I want the file landed as a flat file. This works and all is well.

In other cases, I am streaming the file back to a browser application. This part is not working so well...

My question is this: Is there any difference in the content of what is landed using setOutputFileName() vs. what is streamed via setOutputStream() ???

Thanks.

If you want to stream back PDF use
the following:

PDFRenderOption options = new PDFRenderOption();
options.setOutputFormat("pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename="test.pdf"" );
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
options.setOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
