We are having a problem getting pdf built on the fly (in ram) to properly display to windows clients. Wwe have been battling the issue of application type vs file suffix. Some browser/platforms do fine with the application type set to application/pdf, and some need the file suffix set as well to properly display the file. I now have set apapche to allow files with the .pdf suffix to be processed by php _only in the pdf directory_ and that is working fine. I name my php pages *.pdf and call them with the browser, they are processed and return the pdf file. Now Mac/Win netscape correctly handle the dynamic pdfs as does netscape on the PC. My problem is that explorer on the pc claims that the web server is unreachable when I attempt to serve a pdf on the fly in this fashion. What solution are others doing about serving dynamic PDFs from ram? I'd prefer now to have to save these to a temp directory on disk as they are only valid for a short while (hours).
