The issue got resolved with the setting ‘Cache-Contro’ to ‘private’ in httpd.conf

Thanks

We are facing the same issue in Adobe Reader 9. The above code didn’t help us.

Note: The problem occurs only if we are not opening the file in browser. If we open in the browser itself (inline), it works well.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Regards,
K.P

Thank you!

One of the apps I maintain was fine with ie6 (adobe 8) and ie7/ie8(adobe 8 or 9) yet, ie6 and adobe 9 was causing the ‘There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found’ message.

We had been using

response.setHeader(”Cache-Control”, “no-store”);

but replacing it with your suggested

response.setHeader(”Cache-Control”, “public”);

seemed to fix the issue, without breaking the other browser combos.

Thank you 1000x sir

Only setting Cache-Control to public works.
Use:
response.setHeader(”Cache-Control”,”public”);
response.setContentType(”application/pdf”);
response.setHeader(”Content-Disposition”, “attachment;filename=Test.pdf”);

Why oh why does Acrobat suck so hard?

Anyway, there’s a lot to be said for Foxit reader.
