Hi everyone!<br /><br />I tried to look for this solution in other posts but I couldn&#39;t find one so here goes:<br /><br />I&#39;m quite new to Liferay and I&#39;ve started working on a portal that uses Liferay (4.3.1.) and Seam on top of it so I don&#39;t know if this is a Liferay issue or better suited for some Seam forum.. I know how to generate pdf in Seam but I can&#39;t get the same result when I try to do it on top of Liferay. I&#39;ve tried a couple of options: <br /><br />1) the basic Seam+iText pdf generation where pdf is generated straight from jsf. Not using any particular portlet. When I click on a link that should open the correct pdf (xhtml) page for me, the portal seems to get caught in an endless loop, just refreshing the page to which i tried to navigate. <br /><br />2) I want to get a RenderResponse from the current facescontext to write the pdf data into the response ouputstream but the method (facesContext.getCurrentContex().getExternalContext().getResponse() ) just returns com.liferay.portlet.ActionResponseImpl that cannot be cast to anything (except ActionResponse but that doesn&#39;t help me..)<br /><br />Can anyone help me on this matter? What would be the best way to create a pdf in a Liferay+Seam Portal? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! <img alt="emoticon" src="@theme_images_path@/emoticons/happy.gif" ><br /><br />-mizzzto
