Thanks for the attempt Simon, but your code only displayed gibberish. While looking around again for help, I found this and it works perfectly: <?php session_start(); // // Specify the name of the pdf here and the folder // $pdfname='VFD_ByLaws.pdf'; $path='/pdfs/'; // // the rest will handle the displaying // header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); header("Content-type: application/pdf"); header("Location:$path$pdfname"); ?>

I may not be fully understanding this, but if you set a Location: header, the other headers you've set don't matter at all, since the client will merely redirect to the page specified by the Location: header.
