Viewing of jasper report in pdf format from java

[nikitha]

Hi,

I have a requirement to get the pdf format report from the java code using jasper reports, i have seen many examples, we have only jasper viewer to view the report from the java program.

My requirement, is when i compile  a java program, a report has to be viewed in pdf format.

The code which i am using is:

 

JasperPrint jprint = (JasperPrint) JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperFileName, parameters, con);

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jprint, pdfFileName);

JasperViewer.viewReport(jprint,true)

----> here, this line says that to view in the jasper viewer.

But, i need to view in PDF format.

Please help me. 

 

 Thanks and Regards,

Naveen

run acrobat reader as an external call from within java passing the filename as the parameter maybe?
