Hi folks.

I have an application that generates and opens pdf files generated by crystal reports. In my machine works fine (I'm not working with https here), but when I put this application in the production server (here I use https) with the physicalpath of the server and when I try to create the file I have the following problems:

When I try to open the file using javascript, it only opens a empty window then I click on the refresh button of this window and the file finally opens.

When I try to create the pdf file it appears me this message: There was an error opening this document. The file is already open or in use by another process.

Any ideas how to work it out?

Cheers,

Depending on what version of Acrobat Reader you use, you have to make
sure that certain HTTP headers are set, for example Content-Length.
