How to display pdf through flex 3? - actionscript-3

I am in need of display a pdf through flex 3 to user.Again there is a break point that It is downloaded through file download servlet in byte array format so how I can display this byte array as pdf through flex 3.
any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Check the flex paper project http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/.
It comes with a pdf viewer open source.
Also, you simply need to mention the url of the file download servlet to this pdf viewer, and it will download the pdf and show it the the end user.

Autodesk forge! How to download drawings pdf with markup?

I want to download the pdf file that I opened by the extension of autodesk forge and markuped.
Thanks!!!
The easiest way would be to capture a screenshot of both the PDF and markups (see here for details), but obviously you'd need to zoom out to get the whole page and you'd lose all the meta data as well.
And to truly append the markups to the PDF you may save the SVG string (markupExt.generateData()) and then render them to the PDF, see below to get you started:

JSP/HTML/CSS to PDF generation

Basically a simple question:
In php you have mpdf/tcpdf etc libraries that convert your HTML/CSS as is into a pdf file.
I have now a JSP page from where i open up a popup JSP including kind of a organizational chart with divs created from HTML/CSS. Is it possible that i can just take this whole popup and convert it somehow into a pdf file -> in chrome you have the option of save as pdf -- and that works it creates a pdf file successfully ! But i want the website to create a pdf itself without browser plugin. Is it possible? Does Java/JSP have such an option to convert pure HTML/CSS to pdf?
You could use Wkhtmltopdf to convert from HTML to PDF. https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

Convert html 5 to PDF in MVC 3

I have created an application in asp.net MVC 3, I used highchart.js for rendering chart(stacked column) in view and its output is coming as svg.
I need to convert this chart page into PDF file. I tried iTextSharp but its not showing the chart page content.
Is there anyway to convert html 5 to PDF?
ExpertPDF is a nuget package you can install. For it to work without putting text over your pdf, you'll have to purchase a license. It can handle svg.

You can also use a webkit component such as HTM2PDF to render HTML to PDF - see an explanation here:
Highcharts to PDF with Webkit
If you just want to convert svg to image then you can use PhantomJS (headless webkit browser). With help of PhantomJS you can render svg and make screenshot. Then you can create a PDF and insert that image into it.
Also you can Aspose.Pdf for converting svg into PDF directly. See: http://www.aspose.com/.net/pdf-component.aspx (it's a paid component!)

How to read plain text from .doc and .docx document and display in Flex3 text area

We are in the process of developing a CRM application and for that we need to upload *.doc and *.docx files and display that contents.
We successfully uploaded the *.doc and *.docx files in application by using FileReference and FileReferenceList. Would you please tell me some idea to read the contents from *.doc and *.docx files and to display the uploaded file content into flex text area.
Thanks in Advance.
This link shows one way to open a doc or docx through flash, but it will not output the text into a flex text area. In order to do that, you're going to have to decode the word file, which is not an easy task. I know of an as3 library for opening excel documents, which can give you an idea as to what you'll have to do, but I'm not aware of an existing library that will read word files for you.

For PDF generation I've used AlivePDF. It works well once you figure it out.
Have you tried AlivePDF with the alivepdf-template extension (they're both available on Google Code)?
Here's a sample of how to use the extension: http://gonzalo.huerta.cl/?p=3
