Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the solution you mentioned is not sufficient for me because the pdf is taking up most of the screen. Making it invisible for a mere popup would look terrible.
There is another solution and I already know how to do it without GWT. A simple iframe shim does the trick. I'm having some trouble positioning a shim in GWT. The trouble is how to 'add' the shim (e.g. Frame) to the document. It must be positioned the same way a PopupPanel is (e.g. not added to RootPanel). - Paul On Dec 9, 7:22 pm, MrEiki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, i've had the same problem with another toolkit.
