Open PDF in new Window
Hi All,
Below is my requirement:
1. On click of a link , i will pass some parameter to rest service.
2. Rest will return PDF in 64 bit encoded format stream (background)
3. On click of link need to open a new window to show this PDF stream decoded. (should not attach PDF to Work object) . Just PDF viewer and we can save the PDF if necessary in local.
How to achieve this? Any OOTB rules available ?
Need solution for this urgently. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Anto

Hi
Have you reviewed the OOTB activity rules ViewExportToPDF, pyViewAsPDF, ViewAsPDF?
I am suspecting what you are asking is, similar to how we have 'Export to PDF' option on a Report Definition.

You can use a "Open URL in new window" to render a PDF in a pop-up window. You may also use a Modal dialog to display the PDF instead.

Hi
This is a duplicate to https://collaborate.pega.com/comment/717606
on click of the link you can create and run an activity which takes string parameter Ex: Data (base 64 encoded)
if you want to preview the data without downloading it
Step 1: Java
String s = tools.getParamValue("Data").toString(); //Data is the base64 encoded string (Parameter)
byte[] byteArray = new com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.Base64Util().decodeToByteArray(s);
tools.putParamValue("Data",byteArray);
tools.sendFile(byteArray, "Example.pdf",false, null, false);
This will view pdf in a new window.
if you want to download the file
Step 1: Java
String s = tools.getParamValue("Data").toString();
byte[] byteArray = new com.pega.pegarules.pub.util.Base64Util().decodeToByteArray(s);
tools.putParamValue("Data",byteArray);
Step 2: Call Code-Pega-PDF.View
PDFName : Example.pdf
PDFDocument : Param.Data
Hope this helps.
