Marco Zinn	Friday 12 November 2004 4:43:20 am Hi, i'm using ez 3.4.4 (with templates from 3.4.2), and have this effect: The link "download this page as PDF" works fine, but the browser does not know, that the server sends a PDF. So, it asks me every time. what it should to (IE 6 or Firefox 1). The filename is "301" for example, which progably is the node ID or the object ID. Can anyone confirm this? Or is my server/installation incorrect? I assumed, that ez would send a file called "301.pdf" or send a HTTP header, which tells the client, that it's sending a PDF. But this does not seem to be the case. Appending the ".pdf" to the filename should be simple, but i guess, it must be done in PHP. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

Hello

I have the same problem : How do you set your proper filename ?

For the moment my files looks like : '2038' when called with '/content/pdf/2038'.

What if i want to make it look like : order_2038.pdf ?

Thanx in advance.
