I'm lurking on the news.eclipse.org eclipse.birt newsgroup, and I think I already have seen this kind of error. It could be a mismatch between versions. The most recent BIRT version uses iText 1.4.8, not iText 1.3. Also, you could have more than 1 iText version in your classpath in production. But rather than "the File does not begin with '%pdf'", you should: - get the bytes that are sent by the server, and have a look at them. Maybe the server is sending you an error message in HTML. If so, what does it say? - search the serverside errorlogs (generated by your web application) and see if an error is thrown. If you want us to look at this problem, you'll have to provide us with that information (otherwise we're as much in the dark as you are). br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
