Thanks for the idea... Maybe I should explain a little bit more of my situation. I have a Struts web application and on one of the Action classes I call a utility class and it writes a PDF directly to the response output stream. I'm running on a Websphere environment. When I run my server locally the PDF generation works in MSIE and Firefox, I can save or open the pdf and everything works fine. I'm wondering if there is something else though once I deploy to my test environment, maybe file serving or something. I think I'm going to try the servlet route tomorrow and see if that helps out. I tried writing the PDF out inline but I ran into some caching problems from the adobe reader plugin. Thanks for the help!
