As Schalk > pointed out, we need more information on what you're doing. In short, - what is the value of the Content-Type: header in the HTTP response? - if a Content-Disposition header is present in the HTTP response, what is its value? The combination of these two headers tell a user-agent the MIME type of the response body, and also give suggestions for how the user-agent should handle it. From there, it's a matter of how the individual user-agent is configured. Using windows as an example, My Computer -> Tools -> folder options -> file types governs the association between file extensions and MIME types. The choice of viewing vs. saving a file should be considered a matter of user preference. Some people like to look at .pdfs in their web browser; others don't. However, if the viewer's browser is doing the wrong thing as a result of an improperly-set Content-Type: header, then this something you can fix.
