Glad you found a solution. I'm on a project involving tomcat 4 and pdfs
too so I would probably have stumbled upon the same problem eventually.

Nicolas,
Thanks for you response.
I just solved my problem (or at least found a workaround). I think
it's an IE6 bug.
After posting my original message, it was clear that the only
difference in the response header was HTTP/1.0 vs HTTP/1.1. So I
configured Tomcat 4 to use the HTTP 1.0 Connector and now ie6 is happy.
One more thing, right after posting my question, I realized the iText
mailing list may not be the most appropriate place to post this
question. I apologize if that's the case.

Is it ie6 or acroread saying it can't open the file? It it is
acroread it may be that tomcat 4 is sending as ASCII instead of binary.

Hi,
I have been using iText to generate PDF from Java servlets for some
time now and it has worked great until I upgraded Tomcat from 3.3 to
4.0.
After the upgrade, it's still working fine with IE 5.5. IE 6.0,
however, would pop up a window asking the user if he wants to Open
or Save the file. And regardless of which one you pick, it would say
it's unable to open.
Using a program called JSnoop to trace the HTTP communication
between IE and Tomcat, I got the following headers:
- (TOMCAT 3.3) -
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Pragma: no-cache

1.3.0; Linux 2.2.16-22 i386; java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.)
- (TOMCAT 4.0.3) -

As you can see, they both have Content-Type set to
application/pdf. So what is wrong here?
I'm at a loss, any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
