I just wanted to say thanks...I found this posting in the archives and then the example on Scott's website ( http://www.xml-extra.net/webpage.xmlx?node=38 ).
I've mucked with it all day, but I've finally got it! I started to post in for help a half-dozen times because I couldn't get it to work right, but every time I did, something would start working. 8^D Scott - it seems to cause problems if I add anything to the taf (comments, whitespace, etc.) - either the taf breaks & I don't get the download box, or the downloaded file is corrupt. Maybe it's just me, maybe it's my setup (T2K on W2K, browser IE6 on W2K), I dunno because this is the first time we've gotten this working at all. But if that is true, you might want to mention it on your 'Download a secure PDF file' page.
