The following code will ask whether the PDF should be saved or not,
but what I'd prefer is if the PDF would be viewed (embedded) within
the web browser.
I'm using Internet Explorer v6.x, and Adobe Reader v7.0.8
Any ideas on the needed fix to view the PDF embedded would be appreciated:
$fn = "sample.pdf";
$fp = fopen($fn, "r");
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Cache-Control: public");
header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$fn");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($fn));
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);

Perhaps try this:
$fn = "sample.pdf";
echo "<HTML><SCRIPT>document.location='$fn';</SCRIPT></HTML>";
Also make sure Adobe Reader is set to display in the browser (look under
Edit->Preferences->Internet).

For security, the PDF document will not be accessable through a URL.
(I forgot to mention that in my first post)
I'll take a look at the Adobe Reader preferences section.
Thanks.

I thought that once also, but it still attempts to download the PDF.

I upgraded to Adobe Reader 8 - makes no difference - PDF still get's downloaded
instead of displayed in the browser.
Does anyone know of a FLASH (preferrably) or Active-X plugin which will embed PDF docs within the browser for viewing?

Nice, but it actually needs to create a set of tables within MySQL, along with creating
converted versions of the PDF documents - something I don't want.

I resolved the problem (under Internet Explorer) by streaming the PDF within an inline-frame.
The inline-frame "forces" the content to be embedded within the browser.
