hi
i have a problem with the apche to host pdf files. In netscape is no poblem but in the internet explorer. When i have greater files then 1 MB the internet explorer hang on load the pdf with the acrobat plugin.
i have add the type pdf in httpd.conf but thats no reason.
can anyone give me a tip

If you have a problem with 1 browser and not another then its probably not your Apache setup, all Apache does is server the file, if it gets to the browser then its done its job correctly. Can you download larger PDFs from the web without difficulty?

cheers

thank you very much

but i have upload the same pdf file on my server and on a other apache server and linked both from a html file. On the other server it runs without problems on my it does not run so i dont think its the browser configuration

So the same file works from the remote server but not your (local) server? The only other thing I can think of is the download speed - if I use Opera to download large files from my Apache server over my 100Mb LAN it appears to freeze - this happens because Opera beings to download the file to a temp location in background while you're deciding what file name to give it - unfortunately the background download thread takes so much CPU time that Opera becomes unresponsive. On a slower download its not an issue.

thank you

but also users from outside with analog modem have this trouble so i think its enything else. the weird is that when a user first download the file and then lookt at it not in the internet explorer but in the acrobat reader alone it runs. And that fills the harddrives and is not so comfortable
