Some people were successful in just showing it in the WebBrowser component and it "just worked". For Android/iOS this should work just fine although in other platforms this probably won't work.

That is what exactly i am looking into. As per U some people done it. I need help from that people to startup coding for showing pdf. i need procedure or sample code for help.

Just show a PDF instead of an HTML file, not much to do there. I'm saying some people because I haven't tried it myself or verified it personally.

I can able to display PDF & download [ with the help of GoogleDerive URL ] using below mentioned Code:

        WebBrowser webDisplayPDF = new WebBrowser();
        String strTargetURL = "http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/79655/gazelle.pdf";
        String strGoogleDriveURL = "https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=";
        webDisplayPDF.setURL(strGoogleDriveURL + strTargetURL);

But, if i don't use GoogleDriveURL, then PDF is not coming .... ! why ? i don't know.

        WebBrowser webDisplayPDF = new WebBrowser();
        String strTargetURL = "http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/79655/gazelle.pdf";
        webDisplayPDF.setURL(strTargetURL);

This Code is not working. But i don't want to use GoogleDriveURL because may be GoogleDrive storing that PDF [ this can be the security problem ]

Need to solve this problem. Need HELP please .... !

We don't place any limitations or restrictions on PDF viewing. This is entirely up to the native browser of the device. Which device are you experiencing this on?

[Steve Hannah]

Here's a theory:

You are trying this on a device that doesn't support a native browser component so it is using the HTMLComponent to render it.  When viewing a PDF through Google Drive it is actually just displaying HTML - not a PDF - this is why it would work in HTMLComponent while a normal PDF would not.

If you are using the simulator, make sure you have a JRE with JavaFX (e.g. Oracle's Java 7 - not OpenJDK); Otherwise it won't have a native browser component.

Dear all

What is my question for this is can we use external tools  / JAR files to view the pdf or to read the pdf and show the contents of the pdf in a new form as text or other????

Please write your own question rather than commenting on a discussion from 2013. In that question please try to be more clear about what you are trying to accomplish.
