Hi there,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please use following code example to send output document to client browser. Hope this helps you.

<pre style=“background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: “Courier New”; font-size: 9pt;”>/
 * Called from the web-app index page (because the POST method is chosen for the input form).
 */
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
// Get the output format selected by the user.
 String formatType = “DOCX”;

try
 {
// Open the stream. Read only access is enough for Aspose.Words to load a document.
 InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(MyDir + “in.docx”);

// Load the entire document into memory.
 com.aspose.words.Document doc = new com.aspose.words.Document(stream);

// You can close the stream now, it is no longer needed because the document is in memory.
 stream.close();

// Once we have a document, we can save it to a file, stream or send to the client’s browser.
 // We just send the document to the browser in this case.
 sendToBrowser(doc, “Aspose Words”, formatType, true, response);
response.flushBuffer();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}

/
 * Sends the document to the client’s browser.

private void sendToBrowser(Document doc, String demoName, String formatType, boolean openNewWindow, HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception
{
String extension = formatType;

String fileName = “”" + demoName + “.” + extension + “”";
// Add the Response header
 if(openNewWindow)
response.setHeader(“content-disposition”,“attachment; filename=” + fileName);
else
 response.addHeader(“content-disposition”,“inline; filename=” + fileName);

response.setContentType(“application/msword”);
doc.save(response.getOutputStream(), SaveFormat.DOCX);
}
