ASP.NET returning PDF

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I need to return a dynamically generated PDF to my users.  I'm using ASP.NET 2.0.  I am able to return the PDF using SaveToVariant, but if I try to display it in IE, I get a completely blank screen.  If the user right-clicks the hyperlink and does Save Target As, then they get the PDF.  It seems like this is a known issue with IE (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q305153), but I can't get the workaround to work.
I know this isn't really a QuickPDF issue, but if anyone else has done this, let me know.
I did try the KB article at ised's site, but it's the same thing that I've been doing.

	This is how I do it with traditional ASP. Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" Response.AddHeader "Content-disposition", "inline; filename=" & timer * 100 & ".pdf" Response.BinaryWrite QP.SaveToVariant()
