我有两种方法。一个在服务器端生成PDF,另一个在客户端下载PDF。

如何在不将其存储在服务器端的情况下执行此操作,并允许客户端直接下载此文件。

以下是两种方法:

public void downloadPDF(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException{

    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename="+ "testPDF.pdf");
    FileInputStream fis = null;
    DataOutputStream os = null;

    try {
        File f = new File("C://New folder//itext3.pdf");
        response.setHeader("Content-Length",String.valueOf(f.length()));

        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        os = new DataOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int len = 0;
        while ((len = fis.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
            os.write(buffer, 0, len);
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        fis.close();
        os.flush();
        os.close();
    }
    response.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", "SAMEORIGIN");
}

并且:

public Document generatePDF() {

    Document doc = new Document();
     try {
            File file = new File("C://New folder//itext_Test2.pdf");
            FileOutputStream pdfFileout = new FileOutputStream(file);
            PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, pdfFileout);

            doc.addAuthor("TestABC");
            doc.addTitle("Aircraft Details");
            doc.open();


            Anchor anchor = new Anchor("Aircraft Report");
            anchor.setName("Aircraft Report");

            Chapter catPart = new Chapter(new Paragraph(anchor), 1);

            Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph();
            Section subCatPart = catPart.addSection(para1);
            para1.add("This is paragraph 1");

            Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph();
            para2.add("This is paragraph 2");


            doc.add(catPart);

            doc.close();


        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
     return doc;
}

建议您使用response.getOutputStream()而不是创建FileOutputStream的人是正确的。例如,参见我书中第9章的Hello Servlet:

public class Hello extends HttpServlet {
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("application/pdf");
        try {
            // step 1
            Document document = new Document();
            // step 2
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream());
            // step 3
            document.open();
            // step 4
            document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
            document.add(new Paragraph(new Date().toString()));
            // step 5
            document.close();
        } catch (DocumentException de) {
            throw new IOException(de.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

但是,当您直接发送字节时,某些浏览器会遇到问题。使用ByteArrayOutputStream在内存中创建文件更安全,并告诉浏览器在内容标题中可以预期多少字节:

public class PdfServlet extends HttpServlet {

    protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            // Get the text that will be added to the PDF
            String text = request.getParameter("text");
            if (text == null || text.trim().length() == 0) {
                 text = "You didn't enter any text.";
            }
            // step 1
            Document document = new Document();
            // step 2
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
            // step 3
            document.open();
            // step 4
            document.add(new Paragraph(String.format(
                "You have submitted the following text using the %s method:",
                request.getMethod())));
            document.add(new Paragraph(text));
            // step 5
            document.close();

            // setting some response headers
            response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
            response.setHeader("Cache-Control",
                "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
            response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
            // setting the content type
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            // the contentlength
            response.setContentLength(baos.size());
            // write ByteArrayOutputStream to the ServletOutputStream
            OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
            baos.writeTo(os);
            os.flush();
            os.close();
        }
        catch(DocumentException e) {
            throw new IOException(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

答案 1 :(得分:1)

您正在创建FileOutputStream以生成pdf。但是你可以做的是在服务器端方法中使用HttpServletResponse中存在的流并直接将文件写入它。

答案 2 :(得分:1)

您可以在OutputStream方法中收到generatePDF。如果将response.getOutputStream()传递给generate方法,则PDF将直接写入响应。

答案 3 :(得分:0)

只需从downloadPDF()调整此方法即可; e.g:

generatePDF(response.getOutputStream());

调用此方法:

public void generatePDF(OutputStream pdfOutputStream) {

    Document doc = new Document();
     try {
            PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, pdfOutputStream);

            doc.addAuthor("TestABC");
            doc.addTitle("Aircraft Details");
            doc.open();


            Anchor anchor = new Anchor("Aircraft Report");
            anchor.setName("Aircraft Report");

            Chapter catPart = new Chapter(new Paragraph(anchor), 1);

            Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph();
            Section subCatPart = catPart.addSection(para1);
            para1.add("This is paragraph 1");

            Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph();
            para2.add("This is paragraph 2");


            doc.add(catPart);

            doc.close();


        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
}
