Why the fancy RESPONSE stuff. What's wrong with just clicking on the pdf URL? Or like this from a python script called showPDF() pdffile = getattr(context, 'some.pdf') return pdffile On 12/1/05, Rick Smith <rick_t_smith@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction.
I am trying to display a pdf file (actually stored in LocalFS) from a python script. To do this my approach (probably there's a better way) is :-
RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type','application/pdf') RESPONSE.redirect(path)
My main problem is that on some occasions the file is properly opened in acrobat (I'm using firefox on linux, but similar effects are obtained using ie6/windows), while on other occasions raw pdf is displayed in the browser field with a content-type of text/html. I'm unable to see any difference to explain this difference - the documents are all scanned in the same way and imported into acrobat in the same way, yet Zope (I presume) interprets them as have differing content-type.
I presume that this problem would go away if I didn't use the redirect. I'm sure it's blindingly obvious but I can't see how to do it another way. I'd also be happy to display the pdf within an html document/frame but my knowledge of html is missing something at this point.......
Please help me in my weakness.......
