What about doing it the other way ... submitting the page to a script
that calls on the pdf creation, yet doesnt leave this script - then
proceed to redirect when that script (pdf) has been completed?

steven:
the steps u'r suggesting are
1 - submit form (1.html) to script (2.php)
2 - 2.php generates the pdf but does not give it for download
3 - after generating the pdf , 2.php then redirects to 3.html..
so where does the download happen ? in 3.html ?
thx.

1. Collect Information from client & submit data
2. Process data and generate PDF, write PDF, display error/success message
3. If successful, have a javascript or <meta ..> redirect to then download
PDF generated in step 2.
I would do it this way so in case their were any problems generating the PDF,
you would have a way to indicate that to the client. Rather then trying to
force them to download a broken PDF document.
One suggestion to go along with this is that you will need to have a routine
that will clean out all the generated PDF's every now and again.
