如何在不将文件存储在服务器端的情况下将PDF提供给浏览器？

Question

我有两种方法。一个在服务器端生成PDF，另一个在客户端下载PDF。

我如何才能做到这一点而不将其存储在服务器端并允许客户端直接下载它。

以下是两种方法：

public void downloadPDF(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException{

    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename="+ "testPDF.pdf");
    FileInputStream fis = null;
    DataOutputStream os = null;

    try {
        File f = new File("C://New folder//itext3.pdf");
        response.setHeader("Content-Length",String.valueOf(f.length()));

        fis = new FileInputStream(f);
        os = new DataOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
        byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
        int len = 0;
        while ((len = fis.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
            os.write(buffer, 0, len);
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        fis.close();
        os.flush();
        os.close();
    }
    response.setHeader("X-Frame-Options", "SAMEORIGIN");
}

和：

public Document generatePDF() {

    Document doc = new Document();
     try {
            File file = new File("C://New folder//itext_Test2.pdf");
            FileOutputStream pdfFileout = new FileOutputStream(file);
            PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, pdfFileout);

            doc.addAuthor("TestABC");
            doc.addTitle("Aircraft Details");
            doc.open();


            Anchor anchor = new Anchor("Aircraft Report");
            anchor.setName("Aircraft Report");

            Chapter catPart = new Chapter(new Paragraph(anchor), 1);

            Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph();
            Section subCatPart = catPart.addSection(para1);
            para1.add("This is paragraph 1");

            Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph();
            para2.add("This is paragraph 2");


            doc.add(catPart);

            doc.close();


        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
     return doc;
}

建议您使用response.getOutputStream()而不是创建a的人FileOutputStream是正确的。例如，请参阅本书第9章中的Hello
Servlet：

public class Hello extends HttpServlet {
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("application/pdf");
        try {
            // step 1
            Document document = new Document();
            // step 2
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, response.getOutputStream());
            // step 3
            document.open();
            // step 4
            document.add(new Paragraph("Hello World"));
            document.add(new Paragraph(new Date().toString()));
            // step 5
            document.close();
        } catch (DocumentException de) {
            throw new IOException(de.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

但是，当您像这样直接发送字节时，某些浏览器会遇到问题。使用a在内存中创建文件ByteArrayOutputStream并告诉浏览器在内容标头中可以预期多少字节是更安全的：

public class PdfServlet extends HttpServlet {

    protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            // Get the text that will be added to the PDF
            String text = request.getParameter("text");
            if (text == null || text.trim().length() == 0) {
                 text = "You didn't enter any text.";
            }
            // step 1
            Document document = new Document();
            // step 2
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos);
            // step 3
            document.open();
            // step 4
            document.add(new Paragraph(String.format(
                "You have submitted the following text using the %s method:",
                request.getMethod())));
            document.add(new Paragraph(text));
            // step 5
            document.close();

            // setting some response headers
            response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
            response.setHeader("Cache-Control",
                "must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
            response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
            // setting the content type
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            // the contentlength
            response.setContentLength(baos.size());
            // write ByteArrayOutputStream to the ServletOutputStream
            OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
            baos.writeTo(os);
            os.flush();
            os.close();
        }
        catch(DocumentException e) {
            throw new IOException(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
