Not really, in a consistent and reliable manner. It's up to the browser to figure out what to do with various file types. If the browser is configured to open PDF files by launching Acrobat, and it receives a file identified as PDF, it's going to launch Acrobat. Your best bet is to tell people to click the little "Save" button within Acrobat. You could zip the file on the server, then let people download the zipped PDF. > If I can't do that, is there a header or something that > I can send to the browser to indicate to open in a new > window, so my original window is not used? Javascript is > not allowed. If you want to open something in a new browser window, you can either use JavaScript or have them click on a hyperlink that has the appropriate TARGET attribute. The web server cannot arbitrarily open browser windows.
