The best way would be to trace the interaction with Fiddler2.
Then you would likely see that there was a conflict between the MIME type
and the file extension. You might be able to ignore the MIME type and
just pay attention to the file extension by overriding a default security option:

[Disable] Open files base on content, not file extension

Tip: keystrokes after doubleclicking on security zone icon to open
Security Settings dialog to make that change are: Alt-C,M,O,D,Space


Good luck

OK. Took Fiddler2 but you are 'way over my head. Sorry to be stupid but
how do I use it to identify/solve the .pdf/.asp problem?
Direct communication OK if that will make it easier.

Did you get it to trace the request and response for the download?
If so, extract the headers from the response and post them here.

Did you try changing the security settings for the workaround?


Good luck

Have HTTP Debugging Proxy displayed and it shows 2 entries: a Fiddler2
and a tools.google.
Have no idea what you mean about 'trace the request.......'.
I admit to needing to be led by the hand for any of these technical
approaches. Like many I just 'use' the computer and yell for help when
things go awry.

That's what Fiddler does. ; )

Start Fiddler and use its WinInet menu to change your connection
to use a proxy. Then when you make a request via IE you will be
able to see it in the Web Sessions frame and inspect its details with
the Inspectors tab. Press F8 and F6 if necessary. What you want
to see if the response which contains the pdf file being downloaded.
In particular I'm assuming that you will probably see Content-type:
indicating something other than pdf to account for your symptom.

But if you don't care about diagnosing your symptom
please try the workaround I suggested and about which
you *still* have not responded.


Good luck
