Hi, I had a similar problem some time ago with IE. No matter what the headers said, it would refuse to automatically open the Acrobat reader _unless_ the URL was also fished by ".pdf". In my case, the PDF was generated by a FOP-based servlet and I made it invoked using a URL like that:
http://somesite.com/someapp/createPdf?dummyArg=dummy.pdf If you need other parameters, just make sure the 'dummyArg' is the last one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ing.
