Streaming a PDF file to the user`s browser will help in adding an authentication mechanism. A script file can be called to stream the PDF file. This script should authenticate the user based upon the credentials supplied. Also, this script can add cache-control headers, which will prevent the PDF file being stored in the local cache on the user's machine. A whitepaper discussing these issues is available at http://www.paladion.net/papers/Document_Security_in_Web_Applications.pdf Andres Desa Paladion Networks, Mumbai - India Application Security Magazine http://palisade.paladion.net
