forced PDF-download in popup

[dany]

I want a forced PDF-download but all that header-stuff is new for me....

I wrote a little asp-script:
<%
Filename = "download.pdf"
response.addheader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & Filename
server.transfer Filename
%>

It only works with Internet Exporer (mac & pc) but not with Opera, Netscape
7,... ?!

I open it in a small popup but now I would have seen closed the popup
automatically
A simple "response.write" with "window.close()"-stuff don't work?!

ciao bye

You're almost there ... use ADODB.Stream and Response.BinaryWrite.
