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 - 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()
