Greetings,
 
I have an archive of PDF documents that are stored in a non web accessible
directory. I wrote a small script that will load a PDF document from this
directory, dump it to the browser and display it in the Acrobat Plug-in.
This works ok. Where the problem lies is in the naming of the PDF file. When
viewing the PDF file in the Acrobat Plug-in if I click the plug-in's save to
disk icon the filename the PDF file wants to be saved as it test.pdf. The
name of my PHP script is test.php. How if at all, can I get the PDF filename
to be the actual PDF filename and not test.pdf. If I try manually opening a
PDF document directly into the browser it works fine, but doing it via PHP
and my script doesn't. Below is what I have written so far after searching
the web:
 
<?php
 
$document_directory = "d:/documents";
$document_filename = "the_document.pdf";
$document = $document_directory."/".$document_filename;
 
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: " .filesize($document));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=".$document_filename);
readfile($document);
 
?>
 
I am running Windows XP Pro and using IE6 as my browser. Although I have
also tried this without success using Mozilla 1.6 on Windows and Safari and
IE5 on OSX. Sorry if a solution to this problem has already been posted
elsewhere. If it has please point me in the right direction.
 
Thanx in advance,
Gord
