the default content-type header for html/apache is Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 for pdf you probably want to use Content-Type: application/pdf this should happen automatically with mime_module apache module. the mime.types file by default should contain application/pdf pdf some browsers will figure out by the file extension how to open a pdf file. "Content-Type: txt/html" header is just wrong, i think. maybe if you fix the header, it should work better. -- Milan ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
