There's no need for an ActivePDF Mac version: the Mac is the client, but
ActivePDF is a server-side solution.

Subject: RE: sending pdf to the browser
Janine,
First stop would be www.adobe.com to learn the MIME type that Acrobat
expects. eg: application/acrobat (MS Word uses application/msword for
example) - this may differ for the MAC and may need to be configured on
the web server. Chapter 34 of Ben Forta's excellent Macromedia
ColdFusion 5 Web Application Construction Kit (About ColdFusion and
Non-HTML Content) goes into utilising MIME types in your applications.
Another alternative could be ActivePDF (www.activepdf.com) although if a
MAC version is available I'd be surprised. WOrth checking out however, I
used it for an Online Wills site.
Cheers!

Subject: Ot: sending pdf to the browser
I have a cold fusion page that I use to populate a pdf. On the macs it
downloads to the desktop first, then when clicked it opens in the
browser. I need for it to just open in the browser. This info is
sensitive and I can't have it litering the desktop then rely on the user
delete the document/empty trash. Is there anyway to force it to open in
the browser using code. Currently my cf code is a simple cflocation tag.
Or will we need to go change some settings on each mac. (and what
settings would that be?) That isn't an optimal solution because we have
thousands of
macs- thr folks in the field would be highly upset if this is how it has
to be....any ideas out there?? Thanks in advance. j
