Jim Rea	Wednesday 01 February 2006 11:46:38 pm I am curious about something. Whenever I open a link to a pdf file at any other destination on the web, using either Safari or Firefox, the pdf opens in a new window (or a tab). However, whenever I open a link to a pdf file stored in eZpublish, it generates a download to my local computer. Why does eZpublish behave this way? And can it be changed to display the file instead? Thanks - Jim

Jim Rea	Thursday 02 February 2006 2:33:31 am Yes, I would like pdfs to be generated in a browser window rather than being downloaded. I don't have any knowledge of eZpublish's template system. Can you give me some direction on what I would need to change to accomplish this? Thanks - Jim
