The code that I used works perfect for the Excel and Word file, however, when I tried to do the same on PDF file, I got the following error in Adobe Acrobat Reader version 7 and Internet Explorer 6.0:
“There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.”I had been searched the solution for hours. I had tried various other things such as
Response.BinaryWrite, Response.ClearContent, Response.ClearHeaders, and also some other header settings, but no luck.Finally, I got this code that works fine.
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=Export.pdf");
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(Report.ToArray());
Response.End();Hope this can hope those facing the same problem. Cheers!

Hi, i have the same problem exporting to pdf, but i cant find some of the methods you putted, like Clear or End. My responde object type is HttpServletResponse, yours is different?
I am not sure what your code looks like, but may be you can try this:
BufferedInputStream input = null;
// Get file.
BufferedInputStream input1 = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("test.pdf"));
int contentLength = input1.available();
// Init servlet response.
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) context.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\test.pdf"+ "\"");
// Write file contents to response.
while (contentLength-- > 0) {
response.getOutputStream().write(input1.read());
}
// Finalize task.
context.responseComplete();
