How to download PDF from Liferay 6.1 document library

[Satish Babu Anupoju, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi Friends


Currently I am working with Liferay 6.1.
As per my requirement I have to upload bunch of all types of documents(like .txt, .doc, .pdf etc.,)

I am successfully uploading all the documents, But when I am trying to download, especially pdf and jpeg it is not giving any popup(like open and save ) and opening in the same window. It's not happening for remaining file extensions.


As per my requirement When I click on the download I want to ask one popup (link open and save ).

Can any one provide some suggestions to solve this issue.


Thanks in advance

Regards
Satish Babu

Your browser is determining that it can handle the display of the PDF which is why it is not prompting.

I believe there are headers that you can set to force the download, but you'll have to google for that information. Note that I do not believe there is a standard cross-browser solution.

Well, it's possible to download pdf file by right clicking on "Download" and selecting "Save target as..."

Or set the following property in portal-ext.properties
mime.types.content.disposition.inline=flv,swf,wmv

There is one more thing. Reading that should be useful. http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=252010

In other words, to use
portal-service/src/com/liferay/portal/kernel/servlet/ServletResponseUtil.java

to call #531
protected static void setHeaders(
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
String fileName, String contentType) {


even though, it's just doing this

String extension = GetterUtil.getString(
FileUtil.getExtension(fileName)).toLowerCase();

String[] mimeTypesContentDispositionInline = null;

try {
mimeTypesContentDispositionInline = PropsUtil.getArray(
"mime.types.content.disposition.inline");
}
catch (Exception e) {
mimeTypesContentDispositionInline = new String[0];
}

if (ArrayUtil.contains(
mimeTypesContentDispositionInline, extension)) {

contentDisposition = StringUtil.replace(
contentDisposition, "attachment; ", "inline; ");
}

response.setHeader(
HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, contentDisposition);
}

Thanks Hitoshi for sharing the code snippet. I was thinking the same but just was lazy enough to look into it. And its good to know that Liferay is taking care by itself.

Hi Hitoshi,

Thanks for sharing your idea. What ultimately we need a popup to download the pdf & jpeg files.

If it is possible with hooks, Could you please explain me with more clear steps, So that i can do the same in my machine.

This is just for pdf.

Just set the following property in portal-ext.properties:

mime.types.content.disposition.inline=flv,swf,wmv

I have already set the properties in portal-ext.properties. But didn't found any luck.

Thanks for prompt response.

Can you tell me which browser and version you're using? Right click on the "Download" doesn't work either?

Hi Hitoshi,

I am able to right click on the "download" and "saveAs". But i need is a popup should open as its opening while downloading txt,ppt,doc etc.
