FOP, PDF and IE

[Joey Carr <Jo...@futurehealthcare.com>]

Hello all-

This is perhaps a bit off topic, but I can't think of better group of people
to ask.  I'm trying to use FOP to generate dynamic PDF, but IE5.5 (my
primary development target, unfortunately) fails to properly call Acrobat
4.05 to view the document--I end up with a blank white screen and a PDF
loaded into memory... who knows where...  I know that Cocoon is not
mis-reporting it's MIME header, as would otherwise seem the case, because
Netscape4 has no problem with it.

I'm sorry to trouble you with this, but my reasoning is that if anyone might
have had this trouble with IE and FOP it would be a Cocoon users group, not
a PDF or IE users group. Has anyone out there had a similarly nasty
experience with using IE to view PDF?

Thanks in advance,
	Joey


Oh, by the way:
1) I really love Cocoon, so kudos to the devel team.
2) my system is Win2000, IIS, JRun, JRE & JDK v1.2.2, Acrobat 4.05, and IE
5.5

Internet Explorer kept crashing on my system when I tried to view PDFs, as
well, but when I got a later version of Acrobat, the problem seemed to sto
entirely. Coinicdence, or not, it worked for me. I would try that.

FOP, PDF and IEHi Joe,

I'm sorry to trouble you with this, but my reasoning is that if anyone might
have had this trouble with IE and FOP it would be a Cocoon users group, not
a PDF or IE users group. Has anyone out there had a similarly nasty
experience with using IE to view PDF?
Thanks in advance,
        Joey

on my W2k system IE 5.0 is "running" (not always, most of the time it
crashes). This Browser often crashed when I starting to view a pdf-file. It
doesn't matter wether the pdf is generated or saved on a webserver.
Therefore I using Netscape 6.0 R2 to view any pfd-file in the web. It seems
that MS isn't really interesset to support PDF because it don't work in her
newest Browser, too. Have you considered to install one of the several
available updates for IE 5.5? Perhaps this solves your problem, but I guess
it doesn't. Sorry.

Bye
    Tobias
