The way I've done this in the past is via an iframe. Split the screen, and set the iframe url to your pdf generator's url. The "gotcha" is that you want a custom emitter on your host. IOW, you can't just go to "example.com/file.pdf" You'll probably need something like "example.com/emit.cgi?file=file.pdf" The custom emitter will set the mime type to "application/pdf" Then things should work on the browser as you expect (except the URL is the emitter url, not the file url) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
