Many thanks for response Paolo! I have tried your suggestion...
# pdf.output(rcpt_filepath,dest='S') # response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf' # return response.stream(rcpt_filepath, chunk_size=4096, request=request, attachment=True, filename=rcpt_filename) s_io = pdf.output(dest='S') response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf' response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % rcpt_filename raise HTTP(200, s_io, **response.headers but the behaviour appears identical to the original code (commented out above)... - browser page doesn't change (Good!) - opens the File Open/Save dialogue for downloading the PDF (Good!) - also automatically opens the PDF in Adobe (Not Wanted!) Without setting the 'Content-disposition' the pdf will be opened in the > browser. > Apologies if it wasn't clear but this particular issue had already been fixed. If I understand it correctly I believe that, response.stream (....,attachment=True, filename=rcpt_filename) i.e. the assignment of the headers 'attachment' and 'filename', is functionally equivalent to response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % rcpt_filename To summarise the issue, It is sufficient that the user is prompted to download and save the PDF - and this is working!. The only change that is needed now is how to prevent Adobe automatically opening the PDF as well?
