[iText-questions] Problem with png files

[Pradeep Shekade]

Hi,
 
We are using iText with weblogic 7.0. 
 
There appears to be a difference in the way the pdf gets handeled when creating it thru a standalone application and when its created from a servlet.
 
When created from the servlet the code is -
 
// baos is the stream which has the pdf
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
ServletOutputStream sos; sos = response.getOutputStream(); 
baos.writeTo(sos); 
sos.flush(); 
sos.close();
 
Behaviour when pdf contains png images -
- IE browser dumps a text (of pdf) output
 

Behaviour when pdf contains jpg images -
- IE shows the pdf correctly

 
In both the above case a standalone test application correctly creates the pdf and stores it on the disk.
 
Is this a known problem or am I missing something ?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Pradeep

[iText-questions] Peculiar problem with including images

[Pradeep Shekade]

Hi,
 
We have a servlet which uses iText classes to create pdf which is then sent to the browser as a stream.
 
The problem is that the moment we include images in the pdf, the browser does not launch the pdf application but instead shows the pdf encoded text.
 
I have been going thru the documentation but could not find anything to explain this vague behaviour.
 
Does any one have any idea ?
 
Thanks,

[iText-questions] Strange problem with iText and Weblogic

[Pradeep Shekade]

Hi,
 
We are using Weblogic 7.0 and JDK 1.3.
 
We are using iText for pdf generation. In the class that I have written,the call - PdfWriter.getInstance() seems to behaving very strangely.
 
ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, byteArrayOutputStream);
 
I get a "Throwable" exception. I am not able to determine why this is happening.
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,

[iText-questions] A call to PdfWriter.getInstance(document,baos) hangs ...

[Pradeep Shekade]

Hi,
 
I am new to this list. I am trying to use Itext for our pdf generation requirements.
 
I have a JSP which uses a helper class which returns me the ByteArrayOutputStream. I then use this stream with ServletOutputStream to push the pdf stream to the IE browser.
 
When I run the jsp I see that the call to PdfWriter.getInstance(document,baos) just does not return. This is very strange. This also hangs the server.
 
We are using weblogic server 7.0.
 
I have searched thru the mailing list archive but could not find any solution to this problem. 
 
Can any body give me some pointers to what is wrong ? 
 
I also subscribed to the mailing list but did not get any reply for confirmation. How much time does it usuallu take to get the confirmation email ?
 
Thank You,
