Dear pdf experts,
I have an issue opening a pdf-file in java on windows the straight way.
I do it this way
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd /c start acrord32 " \"" + fileName +
"\""); //fileName e.g. test.pdf
Adobe reader opens but with a message dialog (I translated with original
german message into this english):
"acrobat could not open "test.pdf", because the file type is not
supported or the file is damaged (e.g. if it is sent as email
attachement and ws not decoded correctly."
After touching with my java exec the pdf-file cannot be opened via
windows directly any more. When I open the document it has another
decoding now (many black rectangles with some strange other characters,
the lines are pretty short now).
First I tried
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd /c " \"" + fileName + "\""); //fileName
e.g. test.pdf
without any success. Then I saw the solution inside the great iText
library I pasted below. So if you use it it should work, but in my
application it does not.
My windows 2000 5.00.2195 service pack 4.
I use Java 1.5.0_03.
Any hint would be warmly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
Michael
