Thanks Pete for comment,
I generate this file in a temporary location on the server, but the problem
is when you click to save this file, it uses the query string as default
file name, in which this query string was passed to this asp page to calls
this pdf file over the web.
At the moment I decided to use:
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=MyFile"
Command in my asp page, that prompts to either open or save this file. If
you choose to open it, it does not open it in the web browser window, and
opens the pdf file in new acrobat window. Not a neat solution, but at least
protects exposing my query string values to the end user, when they want to
save it.
Thanks again, and still looking for any comments in this regard

One Solution to this problem, while not elegant, is to
create the file in a
temporary server directory using the name that you want
(e.g. MyFile.pdf).
After the file has been sent to the client it can then be
deleted.

Here is a problem that seems simple but I tried everything I
could, and got
nowhere.
I populate a PDF File by passing a query string into an ASP
file, and try to
run some commands via this ASP file before opening this PDF
file
automatically from this ASP file (When user clicks on the
link, the ASP file
runs and presents the populated PDF form over the web on
client's PC). Now
if I click on Save button, to save this PDF File, in the
save dialogue box,
the default file name is the whole query string that I
passed to this ASP
file (with all the variables and their values).
I want to get rid of this default file name, and tried to
use following ASP
codes, but neither worked:
1. Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition",
"attachment;filename=MyFile"
In this way, a dialogue box opens and asks if I want
to save or Open
the PDF file, which the default file name will be
"MyFile.pdf "
This is OK, but it is not a neat solution, as saving
or viewing the
PDF File must pass through a dialogue box.
2. Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition",
"inline;filename=MyFile"
And surprisingly this does not work! And when I try to save
the PDF File, it
still presents the query string in the filename box, and I
started to think
this might be a problem with Acrobat 6.0 (I use Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 Pro)
I would appreciate any help or comments
