Is there a way to force the download of PDF files that are not zip'ed, without causing a new window opening?

Thanks for any help.

I think the new window that is forced opening is done by acrobat reader and by javascript it is not possible to stop that.

If you server supports PHP, you could try this: http://www.infinitypages.com/research/download.htm

Or use Apache .htaccess to set it as: application/octet-stream

Robert,

Can you explain a little about the use of applcation/octet-stream. I have seen it before but never used it.

Thanks,
REM
