Question

PDF - Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. Size?

My application generates dynamic reports in PDF format.  The reports can vary from 50K and up to over 300K.

I get the message above ONLY when the PDF output is greater than 221K in IE (7,8 & 9). Anything less than 221K displays fine. Anything above it displays fine in Chrome and FF, just not IE. I have tried various combinations, but the only thing that seems constant is the size limit.

It also happens if I use Flashpaper.

Any ideas? Thanks!

It makes no difference whether I use 64-bit or 32. Both fail when the PDF is larger than 221KB.

It could be a max send buffer setting with the web server, something that it is running behind, anything. I'd suspect the web server first and then the code after that. Does the same issue occur if you have a large image or other non-image binary file that is > 221KB ?
