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

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

Try adding:

  FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=my.pdf'

This should set the appropriate http header element.

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
