By all means use your web front-end to access the document, and open a new 'preview' browser window (which will launch Acrobat Reader) that will receive the PDF generated by FOP . If the user accepts the previewed document they can signal this by returning to the web front-end and issue a 'save-document-as-pdf' request. There should be no need for embedding PDF within a web page. Of course if you mad keen on it looking like the pdf is in your web front-end then use frames.

Hi All, Before generating PDF I want my user to preview the look of the PDF file, Essentially I want to show him how the printed document or generated PDF will look, I want to do this over the net, ie I want to provide a web interface and show the document in an applet and if the client approves save it as PDF and also if required Print it. Is there any resource already in FOP which will help me achieve this? or else If I have to do this on my own, I would also request for some direction on how to go about the same. Thanks in advance. regards Balajee Chandrasekaran Software Engineer Majesco Software Inc.
