Hi,

I'm trying to password protect some PDF files and I thought I would go about it this way:

PHP Code:


That worked great in my primary web browser, but I checked it in Firefox which didn't have the Adobe Reader plugin installed and I ran into a problem. It wanted to download the file, but with a .php extension. The file downloaded fine and would have displayed had I changed the extension from .php to .pdf

I put in:
PHP Code:

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.pdf"');

to solve the problem, but now it downloads on browsers that have the plugin installed as well. This isn't a huge problem, but I would prefer (for the user's convenience) that the file would open up in-browser if possible.

I don't know how I could fix this besides only including the Content-Disposition if the user had the plugin installed, but I couldn't find a way to check that.

Any suggestions or do you think I should just let everyone download the files to the desktop before viewing them?

P.S. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if I need to clarify.
