RE: fop .95 PDF generation issue with IE 6 (working fine in IE7)
I hate people who stop supporting my software. It was only recently web sites started popping up which don't display properly in IE6, forcing us to finally install something newer on all the users. Of course IE8 has to be supported indefinitely because WinXP doesn't run IE9 and we can't afford to upgrade their OSs. I don't know anything about servlets. I suspect I should learn soon. -Original Message- From: Andreas L.

Hi Jose, I have set the content/type properly to PDF but still the issue is there. Actually we are migrating from fop .25 to .95 and this migration has caused this issue. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts on this.

fop .95 PDF generation issue with IE 6 (working fine in IE7)
I am facing one problem with fop .95 jar - some time PDF gets generated properly in the popup screen and some times it is getting corrupted (shows some text as - %PDF-1.4 %ª«¬ 4 0 obj /Producer (Apache FOP Version..etc etc etc) And also I observed that it is happening in IE6 only. With IE 7 the PDF is getting generated always properly. Please help me with this issue. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
Re: fop .95 PDF generation issue with IE 6 (working fine in IE7)
I don't think it is a FOP problem. I've seen that behaviour when I try to navigate to some action that generates a PDF, and it fails for wathever reason. If I fix the problem and try to refresh the page, the PDF is shown as a lot of rubbish. Actually, it is the binary content of the PDF. So in those cases it seems that the content/type received after the refresh is not being taken into account, and it just shows the document as plain text. But that's just my experience. 2011/6/16 Chetan Shirol chetanb...@gmail.com I am facing one problem with fop .95 jar - some time PDF gets generated properly in the popup screen and some times it is getting corrupted (shows some text as - %PDF-1.4 %ª«¬ 4 0 obj /Producer (Apache FOP Version..etc etc etc) And also I observed that it is happening in IE6 only.
