HI,
I am pretty new to this group and
I am trying to answer your questions. Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
1. File path in windows and linux
In your bean or servelt wherever you create the pdf, get the system
properties.
The current set of system properties is returned as a Properties object.
System.getProperties
public static Properties getProperties()
The current system roperties isdetermined.
os.name gives the os name as windows or linux
Then you can set a variable say
linuxPath = "/usr/local/sbin/sample.pdf";
windowsPath = "C:\\test\\sample.pdf";
and
String outputPath = new String();
Properties sysProps = System.getProperties();
String os = sysProps.getProperty("os.name")
if os.startsWith("Windows")
outputPath = linuxPath;
else
outputPath = windowsPath;
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(outputPath);
If this does not work or throws an ecception then ask the browser security
manger for System.getProperties("os.name");

I am not sure if we could generate files on the clinets machine, for
security reasons.
You will have to generate it on your page, or on your server and email it to
the client.
