[Seaside] Re: View PDF in browser

[Torsten Bergmann]

Hi Bob,

attached is an example that works for me (Seaside 3.0.6 in Pharo 1.3).

Point your browser to

   http://localhost:8080/pdfexample

There are two examples:

If you want to host the PDF file within a custom file library
look at PDFExRootComponent>>respondWithPDF

For the second example (hosting the PDF on hard disk)
just put the attached helloworld.pdf into c:\temp\ or adopt the
files location in PDFExRootComponent>>respondWithPDFFromFile.

Both of them open directly within the browser (tried with
Chrome and IE) in conjunction with Adobe Reader.

Bye
T.
