Re: Experiences w/PDF output from Reports Server?

We are getting excellent results using Reports 3.0 Server running on HP-UX delivering PDF to Netscape 3.x and 4.x browsers using Acrobat 3.x.

I think I saw a report somewhere that there are some problems with Acrobat and IE5. I think there is a patch available from Adobe, check their site.
