PDF document not openeing on some PC's

Question

Hello,
In my BSP application a PDF document opens on a button click. However, the PDF seems to work on some machines and not on others. This is mainly in production.
Can you please provide any suggestion for why it is behaving as such?

Hi,
My initial thought would be that the pdf extension (I hope that you provide the pdf extension, MIE needs it) isn't linked to AR.
Check http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_reg_filetype.mspx for this.
If you have eg Mozilla, check this http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/helper-applications.html
If that's not the case, I would add this in your BSP page that generates the PDF:
        runtime->server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Length'
                                             value = contentsize ).
        runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Cache-Control' ).
        runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Expires' ).
        runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Pragma' ).
        runtime->server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Type'
                                                 value = 'application/pdf' ).
