[Former Member]

Hello@all,

I have a PDF-File, which I have stored in my project like a image

(->src->mimes->Components->com.sap.....Comp--->Help.pdf

In the View of this Component I want to have a LinkToURL or something else to open the PDF file with adobe.

Can someone help me for this?

Best regards

Hi,

You can alternatively open Pdf using the following logic

String pdfLink = <Your Link>

FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(pdfLink);

int lastIndex = pdfLink.lastIndexOf(Constants.PATH_SEP);

String saveFileName = pdfLink.substring(lastIndex);

IWDResource resource = WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(fileIn, saveFileName,WDWebResourceType.PDF,true);

String url = resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());

wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,saveFileName).show();

Hope this helps.

With IFram it don't works.

But can you explain me easier your way (open Pdf using the following logic...)?

I#m not such a Java Expert. So my question is, what should I do step by step? Where should I write code in. what do I have to create? where should the PDF-file be stored?

Thank you.

Hi

Insert a Iframe element and in the source give the file name.

It should show up within the space provided.

Do give comments if it works or not

Thanks
