Thanks very much - both suggestions work!  A couple of questions tho;
where is Matthias' suggestion documented?  I've perused the Microsoft tech notes, etc. and didn't find the 'a=b.pdf' workaround.  Just curious :-)
 
Thanx again
TJ

Well I encounetred the same problem for which I downloade the .20 version and succesfully completed the pdf conversions.
If u want to open in a browser, then there is a servlet FOPServlet.java just forward the request from a jsp to that servlet and try.

Have you tried to add in your browser command line the following?
 
http://[path][filename].pdf?a=b.pdf
 
Sometimes IE is a bit slow to understand that a pdf is a pdf...

Subject: Cocoon + FOP

Hi all
I'm using Windows 2000, Tomcat 3.3, Cocoon 1.8.2 and the FOP they came with: Fop_0_15_0.  All are installed correctly and produce the correct output - except for PDF output.  The problem is accessing an xml file thru Cocoon.  Tomcat reports encouraging messages culminating with
 
rendering out PDF
writing out PDF
 
However, the IE browser (version 5.5) screen remains blank.
 
I have perused the e-mail correspondence and see there are a number of similar problems reported - none seem to have worked in my case, this includes tacking strange suffixes to a url: 'iedebug=.pdf', etc.  I have tried moving up to Fop version 0.20.1 which generates a number of error messages.
 
With all due apologies if I have missed the solution somewhere, can someone kindly fill me in?  I'm getting a tad desperate :-)
 
TJ
