If my script opens the pdf target window and I simply close it - no problems occur. BUT - if I actually open a print dialog I get a crash whether I click OK or Cancel, as soon as I close the window containing the pdf. > > My question is does anyone have problems with fpdf lately? Since my files seem to be completely normal to adobe reader I don't think their content is at fault. It seems more like IE is not handling them and I can't find anything online about this. > > I'm really hoping this is a problem wtih fpdf rather than IE since solutions are more apt to come out of this forum than the great wizards of M$ Oz.
