The issue is this, Apple in all of its wonderful glory decided to drop support for pdf via the acrobat plugin. Didn't bother to tell anyone about this. You now need to use their Preview feature ONLY if you want to view a pdf in your browser. Otherwise you get nothing but a big white empty screen. No notice, no warning, just a big white screen. Know what I've been getting from my clients? Grief! I'm the one writing the code for their site and since Apple can do no wrong it's me that must be the idiot. [>]
Sorry, just sick and tired of Apple trying to bring everything under their tightly locked proprietary software mitts. As to why do I want to do this... because it is better than telling my client that they need to give their clients instruction on how to view something they have been comfortably using and viewing without issue until recently. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
