I've found that retrieving pdf in I.E. (not sure 4 or 5) doesn't work well
if you specify a different frame from the link's frame. Try keeping it in
the same frame (no TARGET tag). When I used a different frame, I got the
same results as you. It would work about half the time, and it depended on
how big the pdf file was.
Also, I've heard that I.E doesn't read the pdf stream itself, but instead,
passes it off to the Acrobat Reader application. I think this is true for
all of the document where the extensions are mapped to applications. Maybe
this is the cause of some of the problems.

Subject: IE resetting connection during File download
I am attempting to send a pdf file to IE 4.0/3.0.
Apparently it keeps
resetting the connection and re-requesting the url. It
sometimes pulls up
the file after a few tries and sometimes the whole browser
dies. All that I
am doing is setting the content type to "application/pdf"
and sending the
file. The same code works the first time, every time on
Communicator. Has
anyone had this problem?
Daryl
