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.
