Read a pdf via path in WebDynpro

[Former Member]

Hi all,

we need read a pdf via the path (not url). Therefore we open the pdf on the server with "FileInputStream" to a and fill a byte-array.

If we write this array with "FileOutputStream" everything went fine. We can read the generated output with AcrobatReader.

But if we try to send the ByteArray to a client with a "HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream" the automatically starting AcrobatReader tells us, that out file ist corrupt.

Every suggestion ist welcome, thanks

Hi,

have you set the content type of the httpservletresponse correctly...before writing the binary data to the stream....

Thanks & Regards,

@Renjith

I use "application/pdf". Are there other possibilities?

Couldn't you use a FileDownload UI element instead?

@Armin

seems to be a good idea. I already use a FileUploadUI to transfer files onto the server. Until know I doesn't consider to use a FileDownloadUI. I will check, if it fits to my case.
