I have PDF files stored in an Interbase database that I am retrieving with gvib from an external method. The result is a buffer object that I would like to output to the browser so that the acrobat control opens to display it. All I get though is the text of the pdf stream.
I am setting the response content-type to application/pdf and I am using response.write() to stream the buffer out. Is this wrong? Do I need to create a temporary external file and send that instead?
Thanks,

Why are you streaming the output instead of just pushing it out in one shot (like with return)? I tried pushing it out in one result first and got the same problem, I then streamed it because of a note I saw on the Adobe website that mentioned problems if the file wasn't streamed - plus I saw a webware example where they did it that way. Still, neither one seems to work for me. Jason
