IE is doing some guess work based on the extension of the file, that's why it might (or might not even) work in IE. The only real fix is to configure the web server or in your case the servlet container correctly. What you could try is to add the pdf mime type to the Mid-Tier's web.xml. I haven't tested this, but to try it you should ad this block of XML <mime-mapping> <extension>pdf</extension> <mime-type>application/pdf </mime-type> </mime-mapping> To the already defined mime-types in the web.xml. Hope this works for you :) Hugo On 11/2/07, Sokol, Brian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** I have an application that contains a link to a PDF document.

The link on my Remedy form is: <a>href="http://MyWebServer/arsys/shared/POInstructions.pdf ">Click Here To Read Instructions</a> When I click on the link from Internet Explorer it opens fine. When I click on the link from Firefox 2.0 I get gibberish. If I use the menu in Firefox and select File Open File I can open the PDF properly. It will not work if I use the link. Anyone steer me in the right direction? If I go to another web site with Firefox I can open any other PDF. ARS/Mid Tier 7.1 on Windows Server 2003 with IIS.
