Hi,
I'm haviong some trouble with generated pdf files.

When I call http://www.mysite.com/content/pdf/2 using Mozilla,
the pdf is displayed correctly.

Using IE 6.0 it throws an arror that the file is not available...

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

Norman Leutner

Hello Norman

Try to open the pdf file by making a rightclick on the link and selecting download. Does the same happen?

Can you open other pdf files directly in IE?

For testing purposes put the website you are working on in the trusted zone in IE and enable about everything you can, especially if it concerns activeX.
Also check out the links here:

Maybe you can find something useful there.

If push comes to show, have a look at the file content/pdf.php, function contentPDFPassthrough. Use it to push another pdf file (one that you could view in IE without problems). Does that work or do you get the same error?

Thanks Claudia

Solved...

seems like it had something to do with invalid output characters:

Hello Norman

Strange, but good to know. I did not know that the content of a pdf file could cause problems with IE, usually it is a mix of IE cache and/or security settings.
