Add the filename to the end of the URL that they are getting.
It will look real weird, but will work for some browser versions.
I think there may also be two different forms of Content-disposition: for IE
versus Netscape.

Subject: sending PDF to the user (www)
> Hi all,

> I can download the PDF by clicking a 'submit' button. However, in IE or

the

> header("Content-type: application/pdf");
> header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fp1");
> header("Content-Length: $len");
