Microsoft's IE uses non-standard techniques to determine the type of a file. To bend it to our will, we've found that the generation program needs to be named with a '.pdf' extension. This, of course, makes it a bit difficult to embed in a dtml call. (As a form action, it works...)

What I have is an external method that manages the interfact to HTMLDOC by building a html file, sending it to HTMLDOC, gathering the result, and returning it with appropriate headers to the client.

If I use a form to set up parameters to the external method and

<form action="doit.pdf()">

doit.pdf() as action parameter looks extremely odd. This will never work. -aj
