[fw-general] PDF, IE7 and sessions

[Mon Zafra]

Hi list,

This might be off-topic as I couldn't tell if the problem is caused by IE,
PHP, Zend_Pdf or Adobe Reader.

Using PHP 5.2.4, ZF trunk r12700, IE7, Adobe Reader 9

?php
require_once 'Zend/Pdf.php';
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$pdf-pages[] = $pdf-newPage(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
session_start();
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
echo $pdf-render();

This should render a PDF with a single blank page. However, IE7 returns a
general error Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. If I comment
the session_start() line, the PDF is rendered fine. My problem is that I
need to get some session variables first before rendering the PDF. Has
anyone come across this problem, and how did you solve it?
