RE: [PHP] Accessing pdf file thru php

Are you using Internet Explorer? I've found that broken installations of Acrobat will cause that... Try reinstalling acrobat on your computer, and also try using Netscape... See if they work. --Matt -----Original Message----- From: George Pitcher [mailto:fmdev@yahoo.co.uk] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 10:01 AM To: Brad S. Jackson Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Accessing pdf file thru php Brad, Thanks for that pointer. However, with that implemented, all I get is the PDF coding dumped onto the screen - no pdf file downloaded! Any further suggestions. I feel as though I'm getting there . . . slowly.
