If the headers and data are correct then the server is handling it correctly. What I have notice in the past is that simply hitting refresh in IE doesn't always work. Try copying to url to the clipboard and going to some other site. Like google.com. Then paste the url back from the clipboard. This has worked for me in the past when IE displays the binary data of the pdf.

I have this identical script setup on my FreeBSD server (1.3.x apache, 4.3.4 php), but i am on a Windows 2003 server and I have tried serveral combinations of apache including 1.3.31 and 2.0.49. I have also tried 4.3.4 and 4.3.7. My problem sounds simple enough. When I click on a link I want the pdf document to open up in Adobe Acrobat, and it does just fine when on my FreeBSD server. I copied my scripts over and when I run them now the proper mime type is detected (I have fully looked at the headers and they are propper and identical to the FreeBSD servers headers), but I get a window that opens up and shows the raw text of the pdf document. If I right click on the document and go to properties it says it is an "Adobe Acrobat Document" just like it should. I have tried serveral different header() combinations as suggesed by the user comments @ http://www.php.net/header but I can't get adobe ! acrobat to open the files. Its not the client or the script because everything works fine with i direct my webbrowser back on over to my old server. I would love to run any of the free *nixs but my job does not permit me to do that. My only clue to this would be some php.ini file settings that i am unaware of. I have tried both dist and recommeneded php inis.
