Open a PDF file in a dialog window

[sarsipius]

Hi all,

I am trying to code an app with a list of files in a grid and I want to show a Dialog window with the PDF in it

I don't understand how I can do it.

Could you please help me?

Something like this works:

Dialog d = new Dialog();
d.setWidth(500);
d.setHeight(700);

d.setUrl("http://someurl.com/your.pdf");
d.show();


It's important that your server is setting "Content-Disposition" HTTP header to "inline" and not "attachment."

I needed something useful... so I coded this:

public class PdfDialog extends Dialog
{
private PdfDialog self = this;

private String m_url = "";
private String m_title = "";

private final float SCREEN_PERCENT = 0.75f;

public PdfDialog(String httpPdfUrl)
{
m_url = httpPdfUrl;
this.setUrl(m_url);

int pos = m_url.lastIndexOf("/");
if (pos >= 0)//absolute
m_title = m_url.substring(pos + 1);
else //relative
m_title = m_url;

this.setHeading(m_title);

El el = XDOM.getBodyEl();
this.setWidth((int)(el.getWidth() * SCREEN_PERCENT));
this.setHeight((int)(el.getHeight() * SCREEN_PERCENT));

this.okText = "Close";
this.getButtonBar().getButtonById(Dialog.OK).addListener(Events.Select, new SelectionListener<ButtonEvent>(){
public void componentSelected(ButtonEvent ce){
self.close();
}
});
}
}


Hopefully you find it useful too.
