I struggled a lot in handling pdfs. There are lot compatiability issues with different versions of IE, Netscape and Acrobat Reader.
The way I resolved is, write the stream to a file(.pdf) and then open that file like any other jsp or html. This way I could able to manage it work on all versions of IE, Netscape and Acrobat Reader versions.

I'm invoking a servlet through the showDocument() method in my Applet. The doGet() method of the servlet generates a pdf file and writes it to the OutputStream. - In the Visual Age Websphere test environment, the file loads correctly in my browser, although often the doGet method is invoked twice (and the file is sent to the browser only after the second invocation). - Using Webshpere 3.5.5, the servlet completes its execution and then I get the 'File Download' dialog. Clicking on either 'Save As...' or 'Open' I get a download error of site unavailable. I've tried using both "Content-disposition","inline" and "Content-disposition","attachment; file=xxx.pdf" I'm using response.setContentType("application/pdf"), setting the content length and flushing the outputstream. I'm testing this with Internet Explorer 5.5 Any help much appreciated.
