U can send the PDF url to the browser to be viewed.
Also I think u can print the PDF on a printer using the java print service
(JPS).

Subject: Open and print pdf files
Hi all,
Fop is cool but once i have successfully created my pdf file it would be
nice to open and print it. Does anyone know of a platform independent
way to open a pdf file. So far the only way i have found is platform
dependent ( for NT : Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start
"+txtPdf.getText()); ). I was thinking that if java provided a way to
display an active http link it would be easy to open a pdf file via the
default web browser. What do you think?
Does anyone know how to send either ps or pdf directly to the printer
(or via a print dialog)?
Thank you for your help
Franck
