Hi, I have been working with SEB Pension in Denmark implementing an enhancement to the OpenSign applet. SEB' requirement was to implement PDF attachment viewing capability to opensign.
The design fell on using the browser as a viewer, where only the installed browser plugins would limit the viewing capability. A quick solution outline: OpenSign handles signing, as usual. When viewing an PDF attachment, a browser window is launched which connects back to the opensign applet. Applet sends the PDF attachment with the proper mime-type to the browser, which then will show the attachment. The URL is generated dynamically and random, making it difficult to guess and hijack for users working on the same machine. I have setup a temporary demo on http://private.bofriis.dk:8080/logon/opensign.html Comments and feedback are welcome. Note that this enhancement also works with other types of Office document types. Best regards, Bo Friis IT Practice _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] https://www.openoces.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
