Hi all

I have made some pdf documents with php, users fill out a form and then a pdf document is build.
Everything works fine on my computer, both in mozilla and explorer but on some computers nothing happens. Just a empty blank page opens.
I have changed the header("Content-Disposition:) to attachment, now the user can download the document and open it in adobe acrobat reader, this works fins but still some user cannot display the pdf file in their browser. Still other pdf files will be correctly displayed and I have more or less used the same code for both.

Also the users that cannot open it have the newest browsers and adobe installed.

Is there anybody that could help me?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, ivik!

Intermittent failures between client and server -- a programmers dream! Especially when generating a pdf. Have you checked the adobe support site for any known issues?
