  Hi Lordshaper,

  Looks like a strange solution, but it works!

  I had the same problem. I appended .pdf to my url, as you mentioned in your post and now everything works like a charm! Thanks for your post!

  I had a similar issue with the document being corrupted when streaming the pdf directly to the user, so it didn't need to touch the disk.

  In the end all i needed was a

  response.flush

  resonse.close

  response.end

   

  I was not including the .flush and .close only the .end, once i added these it was all good.

  WORKING FOR ME !!!!

  Problem: IE6 6.0.2900.5512 doesn't show pdf file content (stream)

  I just add the parameter file=xxx.pdf at the end of querystring and the problem was solved.

  Thank you
