I want to add a pdf and word format of my resume to my portfolio page and make it downloadable. Does anyone have some simple script?
Add a link to the file and let the browser handle the download.
You may be over-complicating the problem. It's possible to use a href pointing to the location of the .pdf or .doc file, when a user clicks on this in their browser, generally they will be asked if they would like to save or open the file, depending on their OS/configuration.
If this is still confusing, leave a comment and I'll explain anything you don't get.
Create the PDF. Upload it. Add a link.
Save yourself 30 minutes tossing around with PDFGEN code.
You will want to issue or employ the Content-Disposition HTTP header to force the download otherwise some browsers may recognize the common file extensions and try to automatically open the file contents. It will feel more professional if the link actually downloads the file instead of launching an app - important for a resume I think.
Content-Disposition must be generated within the page from the server side as far as I know.
Option:
Upload your resume to Google Docs.
Add a link to the file on your portfolio page just as I do in the menu of my blog:
Use Google Docs Viewer passing to it the URL of the PDF as you can see in this link.

I'm developing a web app for in-house use and I'm looking for a better way to display PDFs.
I've played around with Adobe's 'Work with Local File' example from GitHub, Adobe GitHub Example, and it works great using the file picker to display a PDF. Is it possible with Adobe's PDF Embed API to take a file located on a local file share and display the PDF?
I'm thinking I need to create a file promise but I'm not sure how to create that.
Unless you can make a network request to load the PDF, the answer is no. Browsers generally can't read from local files unless a user action actually picks the file. If your local share can be made accessible via HTTP, then you would be good to go.
I want to enhance this question. How can I create File Destination Chooser (as like JFileChooser) in GWT?
I had googled for a long time to get it in GWT. I found GWT FileUpload in most.
Any Suggestions for it ?
UPDATE: After clearing on question
Well, for this you would need a Download Servlet for the file. There in HttpServletResponse you will fill the content with the file and header with file types and all.
And from your client side call the URL.
For prompting case, it depends upon the browser configuration. You cannot force browser to open location prompt.
For achieving download only, you can refer to download file using gwt

Yes someone did it before. I used this kit also and it is great to search pages and highlight the result. It's PDFKitten by KurtCode (on Github).
I want to bind my app to some file extension so when I receive an email with an attached file with the correct extension, clicking on it will launch my app and pass it the attached file.
Is it possible ? How ?
Thx

As iPhone applications are not allowed to share files on the file system, what you're looking for is not immediately possible (not with the published APIs that I know of, anyway). You might still have a couple of options though.
Either way you'll have to use a custom URL scheme, which is associated with your app, and paste that into your email. This URL might point to some external location, which your app can download the file from.
Or it might contain the actual file contents if it's fairly small. URLs are 'just text' (some restrictions apply), so you're free to put any data you want to in it, as long as it is URL-encoded.
You still need to get the URL into the email though, which might or might not be as easy as attaching a file.
It's not possible to simply associate a file extension with an application on the iPhone.
You could create a custom URL scheme that would launch your app, but probably that won't help you.
This is actually possible, I'm working on this exact same problem and this great tutorial has really helped me.
How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.
Thanks
Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!
