Hi, Try adding a mapping for .pdf (if it's not there) into tomcat_home/conf/web.xml
It's possible if you are using a servlet to deliver the file, that the response ContentType is not the correct one. If you use RequestDispatcher.include at some point while processing the request the default mime-type will be used (text/plain), unless you change the response type in the servlet that does the has the include.
