When you say "open" are you trying to have it render in the application or use their system default for viewing the file?

Note that probably all Java libraries use Swing as a graphics backend (amd maybe someone even with for SWT), so I think it will be better to handle it in a different window. Keep us updated ... Bye 2012/3/1 Camilo Casadiego <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Hi there, I have a doubt...In the server side of my application I generate a pdf file and then I sent such file to the client through a webservice interface...How can I show this pdf or excel file ebbed into the pivot client Cordialmente, [::::ADV_Logo_CMYK300_Color.png] Camilo Casadiego Espitia Arquitecto de SW * + 57 1 6393000<tel:%2B%2057%201%206393000> * [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> * http://www.adv.com.co<http://www.adv.com.co/> Carrera 11 No. 93 - 53 P7 Bogotá - Colombia
