Well thanks for the help on posting a request to the iframe to handle the PDF. Here is my bigger problem and the reason for my original thought: how do you trigger code on completion of the PDF load in the iframe? Of course the original thought was to make an ajax request and and write the results to the iframe. You then know when therequest is complete and I'm sure writing to the iframe is fast enough. Is this possible? Can I get back a binary result from an Ajax request and can I binary write to the iframe? Thanks Karl..
