Oh, in addition to this, I'm getting a File does not begin with '%PDF-' error. :(

I'm trying the code I did but I'm having a problem regarding PageContext. I have added the EMBED code in my JSP. Now I have a function in my servlet where I get the PageContext:

public void setContext(PageContext pageContext)
{
    this.pagecontext = pageContext;
    context = pagecontext.getServletContext();
    res = (ResourceBundle) context.getAttribute("timecard.form.GlossaryBundle");
}

My previous JSP code is like this:

PDFServlet createPDF = new PDFServlet();
createPDF.setContext(pageContext);
createPDF.doGet(request, response);

Now with the EMBED code, my code is something like this:

PDFServlet createPDF = new PDFServlet();
createPDF.setContext(pageContext);

String[] keyvals = request.getParameterValues("itemdate");

String user = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
if(user.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 && user.indexOf("Windows") != -1){
out.print("<body leftMargin=\"0\" topMargin=\"0\" scroll=\"no\">");
out.print("<EMBED src=""
+ keyvals
+ "\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" fullscreen=\"yes\" type=\"application/pdf\">");
}
else{
response.sendRedirect("/timecard/servlet/pdfservlet.pdf?itemdate=" + keyvals);
}

The first and second line obviously don't work. I don't know how I can pass the PageContext to my servlet now. Please help. :(

Thank you.

Indeed, I see that quite often when I download documents
from the net (even with FireFox). It's not very elegant, but
I can live with it.
