how to view PDF or XML file in JasperViewer

2003-11-07 10:52

Hi,

 

After I use JasperExportManager to export a Jasper Report to PDF or XML file, how can I view this exported PDF or XML file using JasperViewer in my java app? if not possible, which Java package can I use to view and print this PDF or XML file from my java app?

 

Thanks,

al

I believe iReport has PDF viewing capabilities, but you'd have to check its docs to be sure.

 

As far as I know, the XML isn't really intended for direct viewing, but as an intermediate format to be transformed later.

Thanks for the response. But my intend is to save a JasperReport in PDF format, then view it later in my Java program. Thus, I have to instantiate a JasperViewer in my java program to view this PDF. iReport will not work for me.
