Adobe Acrobat error on fdf files

[chiphi13]

Has anyone else encountered this error and has a fix for it? I am using jasperreports 1.2.6 to produce pdfs online.

 

"The Adobe Reader couldn't open 'pa020081.fdf' because this type of file is not supported or because it's corrupted."

 

I haven't been able to reproduce this error, but users are experiencing it online.:whistle: size=230]http://www.jasperforge.org/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/images/fdferror4.png

What headers do you set for the response?

 

If you don't set Content-Length, you should try exporting the report to a temp file (or memory), set the response content length and write the PDF data from the temp file or memory to the response..

 

HTH,

I am setting the following for the response:

 

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline,fileName=JasperReport.pdf");

response.setContentLength(reportContents.size());

[lucianc]

No other clues then..

 

Maybe others have stumbled upon this behaviour and managed to identify the cause.
