Hello Kasim, probably you're sending an empty document (0 bytes) or an Exception is thrown. This leads to an HTML-Document being send from the Webserver to the client, if you don't catch the Exception.
Maybe you should use a tracing tool. My favorite is wfetch (Microsoft). One solution is to catch all Exception and rethrow them while setting the Content-Type back to "text/html".

Does this error happen due to connection problem (so that the data stream is not completely received by client-side) ? What should I do to solve this problem ? My codes: ByteArrayOutputStream baosPDF = null; baosPDF = generatePDFDocument(); response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=report.pdf"); response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setContentLength(baosPDF.size()); ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream(); baosPDF.writeTo(sos); sos.flush(); sos.close(); _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
