Is the servlet accessed by HTTPS? If so there is a bug in IE that will prevent it opening pdf's (or any other plug-in requiring mime type) if "Do NOt Save Encrypted Pages to Disk" is selected.
We came across this problem recently. We were sent a Knowledge base report and managed to find a work-around but I don't have the details to hand. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2004 11:54 AM Subject: Opening fop pdf in Internet Explorer Hi, I have a process that creates a PDF through FOP and stores it in Documentum (a document management service). When a user wishes to view the PDF it is streamed back via a servlet into IE, but IE cannot open it and the user is presented with a blank screen. To get around this we have to send it to a windows box and open and save it in acrobat and then stream it back. Our HTTP header includes the content type and length. Does anyone know why the fop only version does not open? thanks, Stuart Visit our website at http://www.ubs.com This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual named.
