[Former Member]

Dear friends

i have one appplication created in local webdynpro component and i have placed one pdf in mimes and now when users clicks on the pdf which is available in the form of link it will be opened and asks the optio if it is to be downloaded or saved .My client doesn't require this option of endusers not to save or download it to desktop or anywhere else.

How can i restrict pdf from saving or downloading it through webdynpro java coding.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Krishna,

If he is not interested to save the PDF, but he can view the PDF right?

in that case use the following code to open PDF.

IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(new ByteArrayInputStream(wdContext.currentPDFFileElement().getPDFString()),"PDF",WDWebResourceType.PDF,true);

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.toString(),"PDF Window");

window.show();

Revert for any queries.

Hello Krishna,

As you mentioned in your previous post, pdf which is available in the form of link it will be opened. So definitely there will be link to open the PDF. write the following code in the link which is used to open the PDF.

in that action write the code provided by Nizamudeen SM

Hi,

Use Adobe Interactive Form UI instead of File Download UI.

Bind the resource attribute that you are binding to File Download UI to Interactive Form UI .

The Interactive Form UI will display your pdf in the view instead of displaying a link for downloading
