Answer 1

JEditorPane does not support PDF format by default. If you implement the appropriate EditorKit , you could make it work but I believe this would be a very tedious work to perform.

However it seems that Adobe has provided a Java bean PDF viewer that you could probably integrate in your application to display a PDF. Have a look at this article .
