Is it possible for your application to launch a web browser? If possible
you could point to the servlet/jsp, and give it a content-type of
application/pdf like so:
ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, outs);

Subject: [iText-questions] downloading pdf file from servlet and
printing
For one of my client-server applications, I need to serve the pdf document
from the servlet both for viewing and printing. As far as rendering to the
requested browser , there is no problem. But for printing, we have to send
the document to client's printer. To do this I was thinking whether we can
do the following:
1. I will have a java program that will send the http request for generating
PDF.
2. Java servlets will generate the PDF document and return the pdf to the
calling client program instead of displaying it in the browser.
3. From the client java program , I will initiate a process that launches
Acrobat reader to print this document with a /p command that will display
the printer list and allow the docuemnt to be printed upon selecting the
local printer.
If this is the right way to do it, can someone help me in getting the java
sample code to do this?
Thanks
