If you've streamed the pdf to the client and the pdfbox print method is generating a print dialog on the server, what you need to try is creating a PrinterJob on the client. print() should not be called directly. The print() method in the PDDocument class is called automatically if you pass the PDDocument (Pageable) object into PrinterJob and call it's print method. PrinterJob can create a print dialog, or assign the printer if you already know the name. http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/print/PrinterJob.h tml

I can generate the pdf and render it to a browser with this code: final ByteArrayOutputStream pdfout = PDFHelper.generatePDF(); final Response response = getRequestCycle().getResponse(); response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setContentLength(pdfout.size()); getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget(new IRequestTarget(){ public void detach(RequestCycle requestCycle) { } public void respond(RequestCycle requestCycle) { try{ OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream(); stream.write(pdfout.toByteArray()); stream.flush(); pdfout.close(); }catch(IOException ex){ throw new RuntimeException(ex); } } }); Thanks > Subject: RE: pdDocument.print(); prints to server not browser > Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 09:51:34 -0400 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > I don't know wicket but it sounds like you're missing a step. > How does it normally communicate, like to generate a file on the > server and save it to the client? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: stephen smith [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 9:43 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: pdDocument.print(); prints to server not browser > > > Hello and thanks. > > I am using wicket to "serve" the pdf to the printer.
