RE: IE reloads the PDF document generated from servlet multiple t imes (2 times!)

["Savino, Matt C" <Ma...@questdiagnostics.com>]

This is a known issue. There seem to be several approaches, which may depend
on your particular situation. There's a full discusssion of this on the
fop-dev list under the subject 'FO -> PDF works with Netscape, not with IE'
which has the code for my solution (you can find it in the archives if not
subscribed). I believe this is also going to be in the FAQ soon. 

Please let me know if you have more questions.
