Hi,
Thanks for a quick response!!!
I have to do this in the client browser so this might not help me. I have
written a servlet which is reading the PDFStream and displaying the document in
the client browser in EMBED Tag but its not printing even though I have called
addJavaScript.
Please help!!!
Code:
======
Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER,40,40,40,40);
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
document.open();
writer.addJavaScript("this.print(true);");
InputStream in = docContent.getInputStream();//this is the PDF Stream
PdfStream stream = new PdfStream(in,writer);
writer.addToBody(stream);
stream.writeLength();
in.close();
resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setContentLength(baos.size());
baos.writeTo(out);
out.flush();
Thanks,
Vasu
