Hi everyone,

I'm creating an application that generates PDFs on the fly and download them to a browser. In most cases, this means that the PDF opens in Acrobat which is fine.

However, when the user wants to save the file, the suggested filename is the URL with an appended '.pdf'. As this is a very long URL, it doesn't look very nice - and anyway I would very much like to provide a more meaningful filename.

How do I do that?

Regards,
Lars

You would have to provide a special "Save" button with the appropriate JavaScript. You will also have to have Extended Reader Rights for saving PDFs added for users who Reader 6 or better. Any users before version 6 will not be able to do this.
