	Can iText notify a browser when the pdf is done loading? by ambassador :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I am streaming a dynamic iText pdf to a web browser. Is there something I can put in the pdf that will notify the browser when the pdf is done downloading? I know pdf's use javascript, but I'm not sure pdf javascript can communicate with browser javascript. My browser needs to know when the pdf is done loading so it can perform other actions.

I've never seen a "download" launch another process or notify the user. That would be a security risk.

Your question is not an iText question, as it would be the same, regardless of the scripting language or library that is used on the server side to generate the PDF. That said (written), you could put a page action on the last page of the PDF that you generate with iText, which action would launch a JavaScript on the PAGE_OPEN event of the last page. See Chapter 13 in the book for examples. > I know pdf's use javascript, but I'm not sure pdf javascript > can communicate with browser javascript.

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. I think it is possible because you can communicate from the browser to the PDf and vice-versa. However, it is not a good practice. > Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 16:26:15 -0700 > From: hgshank@... > To: itext-questions@... > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Can iText notify a browser when the pdf is done loading? > > That's a function of the browser.
