Title: RE: [iText-questions] Help required in streaming effect in PDF
Hi Ben,
 
Are you talking about byte serving of the PDF? I am not sure about linearization etc. However I think it is possible to Byte Serve a PDF from a java servlet.
 
Here is a link to about the difference between Linearization and Byte Serving.
 
 
In your case I assume that 'streaming' means 'byte serving'. If you want to try byte serving, try modifying ur servlet to handle partial response.. and the request has to be for partial content too.
 
Thanks,
Ravi

It can't be done with the pdf format. Even linearization (that iText doesn't support) requires all the document to be available before starting. Pdf can't be streamed.
