ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

You don't say what is happening, so I can't begin to guess. However, check that you have a MIME mapping for the file type. You need to have application/x-pdf set up (though even if you don't it should still download a .pdf)

Personally I would recommend switching to PublishContrib.

Well, that's what so odd - it does nothing. No error in the httpd log.

I'll check out PublishContrib.

thanks
