The name of the file is defined in the HTTP header (Google for "Content-Disposition"). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 17:11:35 +0200 From: 1T3XT info <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [iText-questions] How to set the pdf's name dynamically To: Post all your questions about iText here <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Brian Lovett wrote: > So I would recommend Googling "Apache http handler". ;) I hope this helps! Good suggestion. I believe the OP is using Servlets and JSP. A more elegant solution would be to drop JSP (it's NEVER a good idea to create ANY binary file using JSP, IMHO creating PDF from JSP is a proof of bad design.) With Servlets, you define a pattern in your web.xml file. If you define a pattern with *.pdf, the Servlet creating or manipulating the PDF will be triggered for every link with a filename that has the extension .pdf. If I'm not mistaken, that's exactly the name that will be used when downloading the file. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 11:06:48 -0400 From: Erik Pfingsten <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [iText-questions] How to set the pdf's name dynamically To: 'Post all your questions about iText here' <[email protected]> Message-ID: <5494f850ca19724fbd13c96baa610b60592b53a...@cinmail01.cinci.paycor.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Setting the Content-Disposition Header will work if you are opening the file in Adobe Reader first also (ie it will pre-fill the filename in the Save As box, but the end user can then change the name). That's what I do.

It works well for me with simple HTML. The question that I have is: does iText support converting HTML which includes css references and JavaScript to PDF? If I have JavaScript embedded in my HTML will it work in the generated PDF? Is it a way to do this?

There is a webkit app that does this, http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/ I guess I would ask a related question that seems to be answered by the above app, " has anyone considered using itext or other tools with browsers such as webkit?" Presumably webkit, as an example, knows how to render ( by definition almost it is "right" as usually people want to copy what they see on [ some ] browser even if there is not standard that captures quirks and bugs LOL ). Apparently webkit generates things like DOM's and structures for drawing, you could consider several ways to interface or "mix and match" tools. For example, some JNI interface between your java app and a modified webkit built OR an "intermediate language such that this would do something useful: webkit_tool -dump_render_tree http://xxx.com | java -jar my_itext_app> pdf_of_web.pdf I will admit right now that much like "grep the source code" was my prior answer for everything, webkit ( an opensource browser) seems like the answer to everything that involves a browser. > > > Thanks in advance, > Denys _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
