Hi Dave, This is pretty straightforward. In browser "a", you have a button that says:
"Export to PDF" The code would look like this: <html:form action="/exportToPdf.do" target="_NEW"> <submit name="export" value="Export to PDF"> </html> When the user clicks on the button, the action "exportToPdf.do" opens an ServletOutputStream and writes whatever you want. The headers are also set to the content-type you want and the format you want (inline or attachment).
