Load PDF Files
We are creating our own web site and one of the things that we need to do is open PDF files. I copied the PDF's I needed from the PC to the IFS. I tried to use the window.open command but never could get it to work. Is there a special way to issue this command or is there another way to open these kind of files? Thanks for any help.

Re: Load PDF Files
Create a smart page, remove all html and add the following RPG code.
To open a pdf file directly in the browser use the following code
To open a pdf file directly in the browser use the following code

To open the pdf in adobe reader use the following:
RPG CODE
The RPGspFileOut command can access files anywhere on the IFS, not just in the web root folder (usually /web). This is important because you would normally not want to place a PDF where it is accessible to any web user unless it is for public display.-

Re: Load PDF Files
The tip works great but can you tell me how to incorporate it into a web page so that when someone clicks on a link on a web page it opens the PDF document? Again thanks for any help?

Re: Load PDF Files
Below is the html for a page with three links. Each link will download a different PDF document. This page can be a smart page or a static HTML page.
Each link above calls the same page (getpdf.pgm) and passes a parameter to identify the name of the pdf to retrieve.
getpdf (below) is a smart page with all HTML removed and consists of:
Code: Select all
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>click to download PDF</h1>
<a href="/rpgsp/getpdf.pgm?pdfname=Invoice1">Invoice 1</a>
<a href="/rpgsp/getpdf.pgm?pdfname=Invoice2">Invoice 2</a>
<a href="/rpgsp/getpdf.pgm?pdfname=Invoice3">Invoice 3</a>
</body>
</html>
getpdf (below) is a smart page with all HTML removed and consists of:
RPG CODE
The RPGspIn command in line 6 above, retrieves the parameter passed in from the link so the correct PDF is sent by RPGspFileOut. To get this code to work, place 3 pdf documents in the IFS folder /home The documents should be named: Invoice1.pdf, Invoice2.pdf & Invoice3.pdf.-
