thanks, I figured its not a FOP issue since i dumped servlet2_3-spec.pdf on my web server, tried to load
https://xx.dd../servlet2_3-spec.pdf and get the same message so wether its a FOP pdf or a standard pdf, I get the saem thing, I had never seen this so thought it was a FOP thing they lock down the client configurations so I cannot change them in IE, so now I am asking the end user support folk to fix the dll as noted in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com: 80/support/kb/articles/Q241/3/85.ASP&NoWebContent=1 this stinks, I just want to show a table of links to pdfs and have the user click it and see it via https oh we'll, lesson learned, thanks all -----Original Message----- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 4:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: created pdf via FOP, try to load via https and get unsafe Act iveX control msg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > So is it safe to assume there is nothing I could do during FOP pdf > generation to somehow make IE think or tell IE there is NO need > to use ActiveX Yes. The web server doesn't care about the browser at all. It's the browser's decision how to present the content. > I basically provide a html table with a list of PDFs > these are invoices so would like to use https I suppose the "list of PDFs" is meant to be a list of links. If so, I have no idea why it should trigger the presented behaviour in IEx. The ActiveX control is only loaded if PDF content is displayed in an IEx frame. If PDF is displayed in an IEx window, I don't think there is a work around without fiddling with the client side options, like tweaking the IEX security options in order to suppress the message or telling IEx not to present PDF inline but start Acrobat Reader as an external program instead.
