Peyton, here's a few questions to think about.
- Have you tried hitting the URL for the generated PDF in the web browser to
see if you get an error or something?
- Does this happen in just one browser or all (Firefox, IE, etc.)?
- If you can see this happen in Firefox, try turning on the error console
(Tools > Error Console) to see if something shows up there.
- Does he have a popup blocker installed that the other computers don't?
