Re: Embed pdf into gwt app
Hi Karim, You are right, I know that. But in fact that is exactly what I want: the browser to use whatever plugin to show the PDF, my app to define a little place where this happens. I have several problems actually: Whatever I use, the PDF gets downloaded. In my case it is the tool folx, without it is acrobat or preview that gets fired. Yes, in ffox I can configure the behavior. I would like to force to be embedded and provide a link for download. This makes more sense and in my case leads to a better user experience when searching for a specific document. When I use the object tag (uibinder, objectelement) and set the data URL from my presenter, the app jumps back in history and the PDF gets downloaded. Brgds Papick G.

Re: Embed pdf into gwt app
Hi Papick, In my opinion, the problem is not about your iframe or any GWT container. Concerning object or embed, i think you should use the standard way provided by W3C specifications e.g object.

Did anyone succeed in showing a PDF? Brgds, Papick The way I've done this in the past is via an iframe. Split the screen, and set the iframe url to your pdf generator's url. The gotcha is that you want a custom emitter on your host. IOW, you can't just go to example.com/file.pdf You'll probably need something like example.com/emit.cgi?file=file.pdf The custom emitter will set the mime type to application/pdf Then things should work on the browser as you expect (except the URL is the emitter url, not the file url) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.
