 Hi,

 I have an application that along  filling in some forms, it produces
 a
 pdf file, as confirmation of all entered data.

 I want to send this pdf file to a different window/tab of the
 browser,
 so it is displayed and can latter be printed.

 In the mean time, the original window contains a confirmation
 message,
 to continue with the work flow.

 I would like to do this without use of JavaScript

 Any combination of headers ??

 Any hints appreciated.

 AFAIK you must use javascript.  The two scenarios I see are:

 1. Your form uses target=_blank to open the PDF and there is some
 onsubmit javascript that updates your form.
 2. Your form updates itself when submitted and there is some onsubmit
 javascript to open the PDF in a new window.

Actually, I think a PDF can have an action at the launch that opens
up a web page...

I vaguely remember this...

But maybe I'm just imagining it...

Or it could be that I'm thinking of an FDF which *has* to open up a
PDF URL to function.

Later on, give the user a link that says Open as PDF.
