I am using Some java code to convert my Server Data to PDF but it is not opening in Adobe latest version 11.0.13. For all other earlier version it is fine.

Below is code :-

<% //read the file name.

String pdfFileName = "Ereceipt.pdf";

byte[] outputBytes =(byte[])session.getAttribute("PDF_BYTES");

response.setDateHeader("Expires",0); response.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");

//set the content type(can be excel/word/powerpoint etc..) response.setContentType ("application/pdf"); //set the header and also the Name by which user will be prompted to save response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+ pdfFileName);

ServletOutputStream outs;

if (outputBytes != null) { System.out.println("I AM IN IFFFF..."); 

   response.setContentLength(outputBytes.length);
   outs = response.getOutputStream();
   outs.write(outputBytes);
   outs.flush();
   outs.close();

System.out.println("DONE...."); }

%>

There are a few places to troubleshoot in Firefox for this:

  1. Check the defaults in the Firefox Application settings: Manage file types and download actions in Firefox
  2. Use Adobe Reader to view PDF files in Firefox -> that would change the default I believe for what it opens as
  3. There might be a question of pdf type in the header -> last I checked:

application/pdf application/vnd.adobe.pdfxml application/vnd.adobe.x-mars application/vnd.fdf application/vnd.adobe.xfdf application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml application/vnd.adobe.xfd+xml
