Hi Daniel, Thanks for your help - as a bit of a test I tried the following two scenarios:
I set the response size to Integer.MAX_VALUE. Which didn't work :( I also tried first saving the output to a file - waiting until the file was complete, then streaming the file to the browser through the response. Which didn't work :(. Your right that I could temporarily link to the file I created and then delete the file after but your right about the security access. Its not something that we could do as the pdf's contain sensitive information + direct access to the server isn't really an option as it bypasses the rest of the security we have in place. I don't suppose you or anyone else on the list know of any other way to get round this?

For large files it is not unlikely that the browser times out or finishes fetching the PDF file in an unfinished state. A possible pseudo-streaming solution could be to let FOP save the file on the server, and use a website with an AJAX script on the client side that regularly checks the state of the file. If file size isn't changing between two or more consecutive checks, it might be assumed that FOP has finished rendering the file and you could redirect the browser to the respective URL or show it as a link. Of course, this might still be problematic with regards to security...
