Re: [PHP] Accessing pdf file thru php
Brad, Thanks for that pointer. However, with that implemented, all I get is the PDF coding dumped onto the screen - no pdf file downloaded! Any further suggestions. I feel as though I'm getting there . . . slowly. George - Original Message - From: Brad S.

RE: [PHP] Accessing pdf file thru php
Are you using Internet Explorer? I've found that broken installations of Acrobat will cause that... Try reinstalling acrobat on your computer, and also try using Netscape... See if they work. --Matt -Original Message- From: George Pitcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 10:01 AM To: Brad S.

Re: [PHP] Accessing pdf file thru php
Hi, I have the same problem going on. I have tried IE on Windows 98, 2000 and Netscape on Linux, 98 without any difference. I can't check it because using https and sessions, but can anyone try to use wget with the -s option to see what is going on the headers? Also might be useful to see what PHP are u running. Mine PHP4.0.3pl1 on Linux+Apache Sean C. McCarthy SCI, S.L. (www.sci-spain.com) PS: I know I should upgrade when having funny problems, but actually we are almost finishing a project a we cant stop to recompile and reinstall.
