If it goes white, I would also try: "fo=c:\border.fo&dummy=.pdf". I recently was able to resolve a "white screen" problem with ie because it didn't recognize that its response was pdf without this pdf extension.

But I did try fo=c:\borber.fo and the web browser goes white with the FopServlet only but no PDF anywhere. I haven't access to it now but I'll try it again later, I think I probably do it with escaping next ie. fo=c%3a\borber.fo Cheers G. >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: Fop Servlet Problems >Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 18:57:08 -0700 > >Did you try giving the fo file a path?
