Printing PDFs without pdf extension? #48

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Is there a way to print generated pdfs that don't have a pdf file extension. 
Example, applet.appendPDF("http://www.example.com/pdf.php?id=1"); throws error 
"Exception occured: This may not be a PDF File" and does not print although it 
is a PDF.

May have to be added. Are you relying on any session cookies that Java would be 
aware of?

I'll check this code tonight and see if I'm filtering on extension.

Actually, it is looking for Content-disposition in the header it seems.
This works:
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition:inline;filename=example.pdf');
?>
This does not:
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
?>

Good catch.  I reviewed the code, and there are no strict bindings to file 
extension or Content-Disposition.  Since jZebra uses PDF-RENDERER as a plugin, 
it is likely the limitation is with PDF-RENDERER.  I would suggest anyone using 
jZebra for pdf printing through php appends your header tags.  I'm putting it 
in the wiki, and marking bug as WontFix.

Feel free to open a bug report with PDF-RENDERER project if you think it's 
worth addressing, and if you do, also feel free to cross-link back to this bug 
report.
