Send PDF File to client

[Olivier Matrot]

Hello,
I'm successfully sending a PDF file stored in a database to the client.
My problem is that in Acrobat, when you choose to save a copy, the default
file name is the aspx file name.
Note that I'm not using :
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=a.pdf");
Because I want the browser to open the file by default.

TIA.

Is this what you want?

Pay not attention to the ActiveReports stuff. Just
look at how the PDF export is being written to
the browser:

I don't think so.
As I said, the PDF file is correctly displayed on the client.

If I use the line :

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=a.pdf");

then, the file name is correct in Acrobat's 'Save a copy' dialog box, but
the user is asked to choose between opening or saving the file on disk.
