Thanks for your reply, Rishi. I am trying out the 2nd scenario. There is an existing (fixed) PDF, which a user should be able to download from a specific Product's page (Ecommerce).
Can you please list out the steps that I need to do for this. Can this be done using the Catalog Manager UI, or do I have to make some changes to files like contoller.xml?

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, 15 February, 2013, 1:36 PM Hi Arindam, Probably you are looking for one of the two options below; 1) System generates pdf on the basis of passed parameters to it. That means see the orderheader.ftl in specialpurpose component, you will find anchor tag for order.pdf which takes orderId as parameter. If you trace the order.pdf request thru ecommerce controller then you find OrderPDF as its view which set view-map.content-type="application/pdf". 2) You store a fixed pdf of product as content of that product and then want to access it. That means see the controller of the ecommerce in special purpose you will find a request as ViewSimpleContent, you can use this request by passing the contentId in parameter, after click this will automatically open the download window. You can see many examples in *.ftl and *Forms.xml. I hope it helps! -- Rishi Solanki On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 12:51 PM, Arindam Kesh <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I have created a product using Catalog Manager UI and I am > able to see the product in http://localhost:8080/ecommerce.
