Hi,

I have an existing Java JSP application.

What are the possibilities of printing a PDF File existing in SAP through Java Application from tomcat server.

Hi Raghu,

In normal Servlet Programming, the following code will create a pdf and send to the browser.

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import com.darwinsys.spdf.PDF;

import com.darwinsys.spdf.Page;

import com.darwinsys.spdf.Text;

import com.darwinsys.spdf.MoveTo;

/** Simple PDF-based Coupon Printer Servlet

• @author Lakshmi Prasad.

• @version $Id: PDFCouponServlet.java,v 1.2 2000/06/09 02:54:12 ian Exp $

*/

public class PDFCouponServlet extends HttpServlet {

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,

HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

// Tell browser to try to display inline, but if not,

// to save under the given filename.

response.setHeader("Content-disposition",

"inline; filename=\"MyCoupon.pdf\"");

PDF p = new PDF(out);

Page p1 = new Page(p);

p1.add(new MoveTo(p, 100, 600));

p1.add(new Text(p,

"This coupon good for one free coffee in the student lounge."));

String name = request.getParameter("name");

if (name == null)

name = "unknown user";

p1.add(new Text(p,

"Printed for the exclusive use of " + name));

p1.add(new Text(p,

"by Ian Darwin's PDFCoupon Servlet and DarwinSys SPDF software"));

p1.add(new Text(p, "at " + new Date().toString()));

p.add(p1);

p.setAuthor("Ian F. Darwin");

// Write the PDF file page

p.writePDF();

}

}

I hope this logic will help you........
