Manuel,
You kind of lost me w/ your post, but I am doing this in various methods.
1. I have the pdf files stored in the database.
When I am in R:base and want to look at a PDF file, I dump it to a temp file
and then start adobe giving it the name of the temp file.
When I am in Tango and want to look at a PDF, I start a new browser window
w/ the mime type of application/pdf and stuff the blob directly into it.
(Matt gets the credit for figuring out how to do this). Take a look at
www.eapintl.com - Employees login using RTD and RTD, look at the articles
page (you have to use ie to view this page).
If you want the code for either, send me a private e-mail.
