RE: created pdf via FOP, try to load via https and get unsafe Act iveX control msg

[Ro...@VerizonWireless.com]

thanks, 

I figured its not a FOP issue since
i dumped   servlet2_3-spec.pdf
on my web server, tried to load

https://xx.dd../servlet2_3-spec.pdf

and get the same message

so wether its a FOP pdf or a standard pdf, I 
get the saem thing,  I had never seen this so thought
it was a FOP thing


they lock down the client configurations
so I cannot change them in IE, so now I am asking
the end user support folk to fix the dll
as noted in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:
80/support/kb/articles/Q241/3/85.ASP&NoWebContent=1


this stinks, I just want to show a table of links to pdfs
and have the user click it and see it via https

oh we'll, lesson learned,  thanks all

Yes. The web server doesn't care about the browser at all.
It's the browser's decision how to present the content.

I suppose the "list of PDFs" is meant to be a list of
links. If so, I have no idea why it should trigger the
presented behaviour in IEx. The ActiveX control is only
loaded if PDF content is displayed in an IEx frame.

If PDF is displayed in an IEx window, I don't think there
is a work around without fiddling with the client side
options, like tweaking the IEX security options in order
to suppress the message or telling IEx not to present PDF
inline but start Acrobat Reader as an external program
instead.
