Hi Aaron, put your pdf file outside of the webroot our in a .htaccess protected directory. Then read in the file contents, set the appropriate headers and output the file contents to the browser - this should prompt a download window. PEAR's HTTP_Download is excellent for this job: http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Download Regards, Torsten -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
