Thanks, we've tried that one too. I believe we get the same error. IE
just doesn't want us to open that PDF, no matter how!

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."
Regards,
Bastian
