I'm having a rather difficult time trying to figure out how to open a PDF document (or any document for that matter) from the webdav server once I have browsed out to it with an applet/standalone client I have created, and I would appreciate any ideas which anyone can think of.
What I was originally planning on doing was doing a system call on acrobat and giving it the url as a parameter, apparently this only works with non-secured servers because even if I try to open the url from within the Acrobat (version 5 or 6) program I get back and "authorization error" dialog.
The second thing I have tried is to open the url in a browser such as Internet explorer...ie brings up a save or open dialog box, but for some reason it doesn't actually give me the pdf document back. If I type the same URL in Netscape, the document loads...but I really can't expect that everyone will install Netscape to use the product.
Apologies if this is a little scrambled...I've been working on this for quite some time now, and it's late :).
Thanks in advance for any input you might have!!! I'll post a solution when I find it.
