Hi Zope List,

I have an Zope application that uses ReportLab to generate acrobat viewable reports. (I already posted this to reportlab list - so far no solutions).

Heres the problem:

I display an acrobat report (using Firefox or IE 6) and say scroll down to page 10. I then use the <browser> back button to re-enter my Zope application.

Now, even if I click various unrelated pages in the application (clearing the request,etc) and then return to the Report (which is always freshly generated) it will try to re-display at page 10 - instead of top of page. This occurs even if the data being reported has changed, and this occurs even if a different report is generated!

Note: that I use

import tempfile and
tmpFile2 = tempfile.mktemp()

to keep pdfPath's unique ...

I've tried combinations of "Content-Disposition" params like changing filename=, etc. Nothing is changing this behavior.

I've tried (a reportlab mailing list suggestion) varying to <forms action= like

  <form name="printform" method="post" action="extensions/pyBudgetReports"
tal:attributes="action python: 'extensions/pyBudgetReports/?random=' + context.python.pyTime()">

No help either.

Anyone seen this?

I'm using ReportLab 1.20, Zope 2.78 and an external python script + ReportLab to generate the PDFs. The Server is Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
