[mapserver-users] PDF output and file naming (.pdf)

[Donald Kerr]

This is what I use (with some notes):

 

      # PDF

      # Required to change MIMETYPE for outputting PDFs as application/x-pdf

      OUTPUTFORMAT

            NAME "pdf"

            DRIVER "CAIRO/PDF"

            # MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" # Original

            MIMETYPE "application/pdf" #MIME type of "application/pdf" for
pdfs as "application/x-pdf" not always recognised as pdf by browser

            IMAGEMODE "RGBA"

            EXTENSION "PDF"

            TRANSPARENT ON # Requires RGBA, not RGB otherwise errors. Also
requires OFFSITE 255 255 255 in LAYER

      END

All,

I got the PDF output to work, but the outputted file ends up being output as
<some_name>.map.

I'm using CGI (streaming result?) with map.imagetype=pdf, the result is
indeed a PDF, but with a .map file name.

I tried setting  EXTENTION "pdf" and MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf" inside of
FORMATOPTION to no effect as far as the file name tag.  Do I maybe need to
output temporarily to a server location (WEB) for subsequent download?

Thanks
