blank screen in browser

I am using FOP embedded in a Servlet.  Users trigger the servlet by clicking
a button on a web page.  The servlet then takes the response and performs a
transformation and renders to pdf.  The browser pops up a new window and
displays the pdf output.  1% or so of my user population cannot get the pdf
to display in the browser window that pops up (or any other browser window).
These users can open pdf files that exist on their local machine.  When
these users click the print button on my web page, the new browser window
pops up, but the contents are blank.  Any idea what is going on?

IE prior to 5.5 could not handle pdf if the request method was POST, for 
those versions one must use a GET. Are you using GET or POST and are the 
users that have problems in < 5.5?
