All,
Ok, this worked (Thanks Donald):
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME pdf
#MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf"
MIMETYPE "application/pdf"
DRIVER "CAIRO/PDF"
IMAGEMODE RGBA
EXTENSION "PDF"
TRANSPARENT ON
END

Try adding:
FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=my.pdf'
This is a new one, I didn't see that anywhere in the docs.
I don't suppose I can pass a fname=my.pdf param value in through the CGI call
for the naming, or can I?
One other thing, is there a way to force a VECTOR pdf output vs Raster. Using
the above I seem to be getting a Raster output.
Thanks (some more)

This should set the appropriate http header element.

This is what I use (with some notes):
# PDF
# Required to change MIMETYPE for outputting PDFs as application/x-pdf
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME "pdf"
DRIVER "CAIRO/PDF"
# MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" # Original
MIMETYPE "application/pdf" #MIME type of "application/pdf" for pdfs
as "application/x-pdf" not always recognised as pdf by browser
IMAGEMODE "RGBA"
EXTENSION "PDF"
TRANSPARENT ON # Requires RGBA, not RGB otherwise errors. Also
requires OFFSITE 255 255 255 in LAYER

Subject: [mapserver-users] PDF output and file naming (.pdf)
All,
I got the PDF output to work, but the outputted file ends up being output as
<some_name>.map.
I'm using CGI (streaming result?) with map.imagetype=pdf, the result is indeed
a PDF, but with a .map file name.
I tried setting EXTENTION "pdf" and MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" inside of
FORMATOPTION to no effect as far as the file name tag. Do I maybe need to
output temporarily to a server location (WEB) for subsequent download?
Thanks
bobb
