Opening PDF documents

[DavidJA]

Hi all,

I have a B2B advertising site. Clients can go to it and see Proofs of jobs.

These proofs are in Adobe Acrobat Format, served off an IIS 5 server. (sitting in a virtual folder)

I am sending the user to the file using a the following JavaScript:

window.location='/ProofFiles/PDF/89686A--Jane_W_[1].PDF'

This works fine for all of my clients exept one. They are using IE5.0 SP2 on Win2k.

When this client attempts to view the file they get a "Save As/Open" dialog box, then when they click on Open they get an error "The requested file could not be found"

This client can view PDF files which are presented as HREFs

I use exactly the same technique for linking to JPG files and it works fine.

Does anyone have any idea whats going on?

NB: When I e-mail the client a link like:

http://agentmanagementsystem.adcentral.com.au/ProofFiles/PDF/91904A-46-O_Shan_Mag

[2].PDF

they have the same problem, they get the SaveAs message. BUT, they can view other PDF files on other sites.
