Response.redirect and PDFs'

[MMM]

Using response.write to display a document to the user. Many fiels work okay
but PDF's refuse to work.

Can anybody help...

What are you using

Response.Redirect as in the subject
or
Response.Write as in the body?

Bit confusing.

Sorry my fault...

I am using Response.Redirect("URL to a document")

If the document is a PDF it doesn't work. (MS Word documents work fine)

However typing in the URL (whichs points to the PDF) directly in the browser
works.

I am using IE 5.

That's odd, I'm sorry, no idea.

But what is the error you get? Are you sure that this is the only file type?
Do all PDF files have the same behaviour?

If it were with Response.Write I'd say check the content-type of the file.

I ran into this problem just yesterday. This is an actual bug that is
documented...the resolution is to upgrade to IE 5.5.
Take a look at this article:

We had the same error for the longest time. Didn't get any good response
from Adobe nor Microsoft. Interesting thing to us is that it worked fine on
some browsers and not others. There is an Adobe plug-in "nppdf32.dll" or
something like that that you should copy into your "C:\Program
Files\Plus!\Microsoft Internet\PLUGINS" directory or wherever appropriate on
your machine to make it work on client browsers. In the end, we had to
avoid using Response.Redirect and instead use static links directly pointing
to the PDF.
