Just a thought but you could put it into a BLOB in a DB & apply your
security to accessing that.
Alternatively encrypt the filesystem pdf for reading & provide the
password separately.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your help - as a bit of a test I tried the following two scenarios:
I set the response size to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Which didn't work :(
I also tried first saving the output to a file - waiting until the file was
complete, then streaming the file to the browser through the response. Which
didn't work :(.
Your right that I could temporarily link to the file I created and then delete
the file after but your right about the security access. Its not something that
we could do as the pdf's contain sensitive information + direct access to the
server isn't really an option as it bypasses the rest of the security we have
in place.
I don't suppose you or anyone else on the list know of any other way to get
round this?

Subject: Re: Large PDF's files fail to stream correctly
Hi Graeme,
in general, you do not know in advance how long the rendering with FOP
will take. For large files it is not unlikely that the browser times
out or finishes fetching the PDF file in an unfinished state.
A possible pseudo-streaming solution could be to let FOP save the file
on the server, and use a website with an AJAX script on the client
side that regularly checks the state of the file. If file size isn't
changing between two or more consecutive checks, it might be assumed
that FOP has finished rendering the file and you could redirect the
browser to the respective URL or show it as a link. Of course, this
might still be problematic with regards to security...
Cheers,
Daniel
