Display PDF file content on liferay page load
New Member Posts: 2 Join Date: 10/9/17 Recent Posts

I want to display content of PDF file (located at a server path), when i hit a specific page url. I located the file and now got struck at rendering the file content to jsp (from rendermapping method). I know resource method will simplify the job but i need the functionality on the initial page render.  Any help/pointers are highly appreciated.

This is probably something you don't want to do on your own. Jump over to Google and search for a PDF to HTML library that works for you and use that library.

Have you considered creating an iframe that points to a service resource URL that serves the PDF?
