I think your point 2 is more important. I found out that in IE, I have to append .pdf somewhere in the url otherwise the ActiveX control that interprets pdf simple wouldn't work. In my piece of work, I use http://www.mydomain.com/myapp/statement.pdf?myquerystring... Mozilla/Firefox has no such problem.

The PDF is created dynamically. 1. a small bit of code which used FOP and served it as a stream. Be sure to set the response type. byte[] fo; . . . InputSource fopInput = new InputSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( fo ) ); ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Driver driver = new Driver( fopInput, outStream ); driver.setLogger(log); driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); driver.run(); output = outStream.toByteArray(); response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.resetBuffer(); response.setContentLength(output.length); ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream(); os.write(output); os.close(); 2. Also added to the URL at the end was the following: &pdf=.pdf\ Can't remember where I found this idea, nor can I find it at this minute, but it made it work. hth, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Jay Hulslander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 6:17 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: pdf not working Just so I understand, file.jpg is hosted fine back to a browser. File.pdf, in the same location, is not hosted back to the browser find. Is that what you are experiencing? Sounds like tomcat is configured to "execute" pdf documents as opposed to hosting them. Much like you would configure a web server to execute streaming video as opposed to just hosting a video to be downloaded. I do not know where this configuration is done in Tomcat, but that is where I would start. -Jay At 06:04 AM 5/4/2005, you wrote: >Hi all, > >Iam trying to call a link to a new window and that's calling a pdf >document thats somewhere in my folder under webapps.
