Acrobat 6.0.1 plug-in for IE and Tomcat 4.1.x problem

Hi,

 I don't subscribe to the list so direct reply to taweili@(protected)
would be greatly appreciated.

 We recently detect a problem with sending generated PDF to Acrobat
6.0.1's IE plug-in. In Tomcat, if the ContentType is set, a charset is
automatically appended to it. This causes problem with Acrobat 6.0.1's
IE plug-in. So far, we have summarize the following conditions:

1. ContentType: application/pdf

This works fine.

2. ContentType: application/pdf;

This shows blank pages

3. ContentType: application/pdf;charset=UTF-8

This shows error message of corrupted PDF file. However, if we download
it, it can be open correctly with Arcobat 6.0.1. Only plug-in
complaining the problem.

 I have tried to contact Adobe about this but, of course, get no
response. I think this is more of a problem of Adobe's plug-in
implementation rather then Tomcat's problem. I have check the source
codes, there is no way to disable appending charset if setContentType
is called.

 Any suggestion is appreciated.

David Li
