[Resolved] :open pdf file directly from Alfresco

[unknown-user]

Hi All

I can download the pdf file from the server to my machine. Now i have to change this functionaity.
I want to show that file to client without downloading. I have to add one link in jsp to view the pdf.
When you will click on the view link, it will go to the alfresco server and it will open the pdf file.
Can anyone please tell me how to open pdf that exists in alfresco.

Hi rleones,
Do not use the AuthenticationUtils.endSession and you should be able to see the pdf without logging in.

Thanks
Sans!!!

hummm!!! I've done this before I've seen this page and it had solved my problem. I was ending the connection. When I remove the line that ends the connection I started to be able to see the document with no log in!

Anyway, Thank you so much!

Hi all,

I have tried using the urls provided above, but however I see that the :
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/download/direct/workspace/SpacesStore/{uid}/{name}.pdf

Doesn't work with the alfresco 5.0.d, is there any other way to access the pdf directly so that I can use the embed or object tag to display it directly, some thing like, showContent?id={uid}.. is cmis providing some operations like that?

When ever I access the other way, http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/{uid}/{name}... .. which is downloading the file. Which I don't want.

Quick reply is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ishaan
