Document viewer

[harishk]

I want to view any uploaded document as pdf when anchor link is clicked.
For this problem I need to transform the document (like .doc, .xls etc) to pdf before downloading it so that it can be viewed in browser. One solution to this problem is :
Override DownloadContentServlet and apply transformation by using one of the transformer in alfresco.

Now I want to know is there any other way to resolve this problem (like using action or actionListener).  :?:

Check out the Thumbnail service implementation. If you look at thumbnail-service-context.xml, you'll see examples for doc -> png (various sizes) and doc -> flash. You can create one that is doc -> pdf. You can use the thumbnail webscript (thumbnail.get.*) to get your custom thumbnail. Or just use the webscript as your download link. Modify the UI to include this link.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I am still facing problem.
I changed UI link to point to "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/path/workspace/SpacesStore/9c3862c9-f85b-4380-b47b-688352...".
But it is giving 500 server error. When I did debugging, I found that reader object is null because of contentProperty. I don't know what property it is referring to and how to set it as I am newbe to alfresco.

I want a pdf version of the content(document) should be opened when I click on above link. :?

Problem is resolved as I used "path" instead of "node" in "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/path/workspace/SpacesStore/9c3862c9-f85b-4380-b47b-688352..." URL.
Correct URL is "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/9c3862c9-f85b-4380-b47b-688352...".

Thanks for your help.
