Even though you fixed one bug, make sure the header calls are at the end of your PHP script... Any other bugs lurking will show up in the browser before the Content-type, and you'll actually see them. I'd also make sure all my PDF/PHP code as doing as much error-checking as possible. Check all return values to be sure they are valid. I don't know what an xref table or trailer dictionary are, but if those are standard PDF elements, and your PHP code is trying to create them, I'd sure zero in on that section of code first, as well as the section immediately preceding it, which might be polluting the PDF stream of data with a PHP error message. Open up that PDF file in a text editor, and search for "Error" in it. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
