The Open (show) the PDF is not-so-simple of course ... I'd suggest to try to wrap PDFRenderer in a Swing application, and execute it. Quick idea: first try with the Desktop associated action, should be multi-platform, your "GUI Experience" could not be so integrated, but probably is it works could be even safer (for example in case of application crash only the PDF Viewer go down). Some info here: http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0579.html http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/javase6/desktop_api/ -- it hav even a sample application, so you can try without coding ... Otherwise: take a look at SwingDemo, under Demos, and try to make it work opening a PDF, it's up to you if in a mixed Swing/Pivot GUI, or if only a Swing GUI. In case of problems (you have to try with some different PDF, even big, and possibly even from different sources (generated in different ways and with different tools), try to convert the PDF into an image (using conversions available in many pdf libraries for Java). Then, verify in your application if it's better to have the PDF Viewer as external app (first case), or swing, or mixed swing/pivot, and chose a deploy option for it (in any case I'd keep its jar different from the rest of your app). And see if it's better to execute it as another process (external, or even a Java process), or directly inside your app. Tell me what you think ... and keep us updated. Bye
