hi,

i 've some problems for the edition of PDF Document on IE (5.5 or 6.0 are my differents configurations). IE recognizes the stream only as text format. the problem doesn't exist with netsacpe (i use netscape 7.0)

The pdF is generated and sent as a stream

the code is :

#stResult recover the pdt stream stResultat = context.Editique_GetDocumentPDF(stURL)

RESPONSE = REQUEST.RESPONSE RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/pdf') RESPONSE.setHeader('MIME-Version', '1.0') RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Transfer-Encoding', 'base64')

#exit on the browser : RESPONSE.write(stResultat)

zope version : 2.1.2 python version : 2.1

IE is unfriendly sometimes. Here are a few tips I have found to be useful: 1. Assure the URL the browser sees is "[something].pdf", i.e., rename your method so that it ends with ".pdf". You can set the name of the actual pdf file downloaded with the "Content-Disposition" header. 2. Making Content-Disposition say "attachment" instead of "inline" may help with some versions of Acrobat Reader. 3. Set the "Content-length" header. As an example, I am having success with something like the following: theFile = asPDF(dummy) REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-type","application/pdf") REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader("Content-Disposition",'attachment;filename=ThisIsTheRealFileName.pdf') REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader("Cache-Control",'private') REQUEST.RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-length','%s' % len(theFile)) REQUEST.RESPONSE.write(theFile) hth, -- Jim Washington
