Exactly, which is why it is an exercise in futility to even worry about it ;)
Just leave it as a pdf and let the user decide what to
do with it since you really can't control what they do anyway.

Sorry about the double mail, but the "they could always just associate the
application/xpto type to the reader and you'd be back to
no 'Save As' dialog" will always happen in a web environment here the user
controls a large part of the ui.
So you really shouldn't worry about it (because you can't control it).

Citando "Edward W. Rouse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
That would work but the user would have to know to rename the extension to .pdf
when they save it. And once they understand how you
tricked the browser they could always just associate the application/xpto type
to the reader and you'd be back to no 'Save As'
dialog.

Hi,
According to http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/jebp_3/index3.html you
have to give an unrecognizable content type in order
for the browser to prompt for save instead of searching for the appropriated
reader (if installed).
I tested and it does work.
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
.
.
.
//send file
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
response.setContentType("application/xpto");
response.setContentLength(baos.size());
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
baos.writeTo(out);
out.flush();

Hello,
Are you using .net? If so, see the Response.TransmitFile method.

Subject: [iText-questions] Download HTML to PDF file. Show the "Save as" dialog
Hello,
My application has a option that transforms a HTML page to a PDF and donwloads
the PDF from the web server. "Simple". For this I use
the combination of iText, JTidy and Flying Saucer. The problems arrives when
download the PDF from a Struts Action. I want to show
the Save As dialog, but always the browser open the reader, always. :(
Look my code when a configure the response:
response.setContentType( "application/octet-stream" ); // I try to use
application/pdf to
response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename="+ fileName );
response.setContentLength( bout.size() );
out.flush();
PS: Sorry for my english.
