pdf bean
Hello, Somewhat off topic, but since this shapes up as the largest collective body of pdf-ers outside of Adobe, I hope not to offend. Anyone know of a pdf-rendering components (java) ? Some time ago (2 years?) Adobe released a beta bean without support. While it is buggy, it one is careful, it will do a good job of rendering basic pdf content on a Component (or Canvas). The bean has not been updated since then; it remains unsupported by Adobe, and -- several exchanges with Adobe later -- I know of no way to obtain source short of decompilation. Does any of you know of another candidate component ? I've cast a large net to no success, but perhaps I missed something obvious. We've even tried to imagine using Adobe's browser plugin, but we can't quite get there. Goal is simple: take a pdf file and render it in a Component or JComponent. (btw: Starting from xml in the general case is not an option, so although we use fop in production, it won't serve here.)

AW: pdf bean
Hi! I looked quite a bit into the PDF-file format, but that is very difficult. So doing that yourself would not be a easy thing to do. You'll have to implement some of very difficult rendering-things. Christian -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Ralph LaChance [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 25.
