I've been using FOP in Cocoon , and AFAIK, IE fails to understand that the
file is a PDF if it doesn't have a .pdf extension. IE is not to clean when
it comes to MIME type VS extensions. As a workaround you can also do IIRC
document?hackattr=dummyvalue.pdf  .
IE knows of this, and AFAIK it's not resolved in IE5.5 .
