Dynamic show PDF in lightbox

[ericmacau]

Hello,

Is it possible to popup a lightbox (iframe) to show a PDF that is generated in the backing bean ?

Code: Select all

<p:lightbox iframe="true" width="800px" height="600px">


     <p:commandLink value="Click to show PDF" action="....{backing bean method to generate a PDF and put it in the application scope session}...."/>

</p:lightbox> 

From the above example, how can make it work for showing the generated pdf when click on the command button? Please teach me.

Thanks.

You can use lightBox feature if you want to dynamic pdf connect to java class bean and you must dynamicly send pdf link from bean and each event is required to update the page.

Code: Select all

 <p:lightBox iframe="true" id="lighbox3">
                <h:outputLink value="http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/ScalaByExample.pdf" title="PrimeFaces HomePage">
                    <h:outputText value="PrimeFaces HomePage" />
                </h:outputLink>
            </p:lightBox>
            
             <p:lightBox iframe="true" id="lighbox3">
                <h:outputLink value="....LOCAL PDF" title="pdf example">
                    <h:outputText value="-Your Pdf-" />
                </h:outputLink>
            </p:lightBox>
