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?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what your code looks like, but may be you can try this:
ReplyDeleteBufferedInputStream 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();
