open web link in browser

[allmdm]

Hi,
I am using iTextSharp and I love it.
I use it to send pdf reports with html links.
When users use Acrobat Reader the links are correctly opened inside the
default web browser.
When users use Acrobat (not Reader) it opens http links inside itself,
acting as a web browser.
This leads to a bad navigation and some incompatibility with ajax.
Some clients are reporting this to happen with (at least) Adobe Acrobat 6.0
professional.

No problem occurs if they explicitly open the link with right mouse button
and select "Open Web Link in browser". But I can't tell everyone to change
the way they open links, I need this "open link in browser" behavior by
default.

I was wondering if there's any anchor property to force acrobat to open link
in browser, but I can't find any.

My code is:

Anchor a = new Anchor("Click here to open report");
a.Reference = "http://www.mysite.com/reports.aspx?id=" +
reportId.ToString();
p = new Paragraph();
p.Add(a);

Am I missing something?

Thank you all in advance,
Mdm.

That's an option in the viewer, there's nothing you can put in the PDF
to control it.

You could use pushbutton instead of Anchor to get rid of the problem. You need to attach a action to the button and in the action, you need to use launchURL function, which will ensure the link is open in the web browser.

Hello,

 I have a link "PDF" in my web page and when it is clicked, I will generate the content of document dinamically. I want that the file pdf appears in the page, with the button for save a disc if the user wants.

The examples that i have seen are in main, but no in the aspx.

Can you say me how to do it?

Many thanks for your help.

C.

[Joe Lynds]

I do it with an iframe. For example:
<iframe id="PDFLINK" name="PDFLINK" style="width: 770px; height:
770px;" runat="server" visible="false" ></iframe>

Then in the code behind I have something like this:
PDFLINK.Attributes("src") = oReport.DocumentURL
PDFLINK.Visible = True

where oReport is a class that creates the pdf document in a temporary
location with a GUID filename and DocumentURL is the URL for that
temporary location and filename.

Hello,
I use:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.IO;

using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

public partial class analisis_informe_pdf : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        // step 1
        // need to write to memory first due to IE wanting
        // to know the length of the pdf beforehand
        MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
        Document document = new Document();
        try
        {
            // step 2: we set the ContentType and create an instance of the Writer
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, m);

            // step 3
            document.Open();

            // step 4
            document.Add(new Paragraph(DateTime.Now.ToString()));

        }
        catch (DocumentException ex)
        {
            Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
            Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
        // step 5: Close document
        document.Close();

        // step 6: Write pdf bytes to outputstream
        Response.OutputStream.Write(m.GetBuffer(), 0, m.GetBuffer().Length);
    }
}
but this produces the error:

 CS0117: 'iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfWriter' does not contain a definition for 'getInstance'

Can you help me?

Thanks

Regards.

[Paulo Soares]

It's GetInstance(). CTRL-SPACE doesn't auto complete/correct the method
name or are you using notepad for development?

There is really nothing you can do at the server to *control* what happens to the PDF at the browser.

However, adding Content-Type and Content-Disposition headers might help:

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=temp.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
