itext - FDF-files not opening properly -


We created a servlet that provides an FDF file for our customers. The FDF file is created by iText and the output looks ok. Whenever we open FDF from servlet or local file, Acrobat Reader starts, asks whether the PDF should be downloaded, we allow it and then we can see the PDF - without this we can see this form Without the values ​​filled in

One thing that sounds odd, regardless of browser, we have to do with the PDF file, which Adobe has attempted to load. Whatever "open" clicking will result in the empty Acrobat Viewer window, I doubt Acrobat forgets what to do with the PDF - but I have participated in ideas. Anyone has got an idea of ​​where he can look forward?

I have now resolved this problem:

If you have an FDF / Xfdf file, then PDF references must come from the same server. If it does not happen - it will not work and will only show to the PDF as it was opened standalone.
