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.
I have never used ReportLab, but is there a possibility that when you go back to the adobe document it is being served from a cache? You could try using html meta tags or response.setHeader (better) to make sure the document is not being served from the cache. Just a shot in the dark! Jonathan
