Christopher, thank you for the "please wait" code.
About your IE stuff I found this, do not know exactly if it is related... http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/cocoon-users/2000-December/008626.html it says: "Open Acrobat, go to Preferences and uncheck Web Browser integration. Now, when you attempt to get a PDF, you will be asked to either open it or save it."
