I had pdflib version 3.03 and found the patch that Uwe talked about and that fixed my problem with the creating pdfs out of memory. However, with IE, you will need to create it from file so you can get the document length so that IE displays the document appropriately. What I do to get around this is create the document in a tmp folder with the time stamp and then unlink the same file after I have appropriately fpassthru() the file to the browser with the appropriate headers for IE (Content-length). -- Dominic
