Placed the below in the .htaccess file and it works perfectly! <FilesMatch ".(pdf)$"> FileETag None <ifModule mod_headers.c> Header unset ETag Header set Cache-Control "max-age=0, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" Header set Pragma "no-cache" Header set Expires "Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT" </ifModule> </FilesMatch> Excellent!

I would like to say away form appending the url if possible. Is there a way to serve it up with php so as to pull the newest updated file? If yes, can you point me in the direction as to how that is done. I have a support ticket with my host to see if it is something they can change on their end for me. Thanks- Keith

I have a website where I allow people to submit a .pdf file and it is then displayed in an iframe or in a pdf object in a div. The names of the files always stay the same, and are uploaded to a specific folder. Problem is- when they upload a new .pdf file....the browser always displays the old .pdf file. Deleting temp files- doesn't change. <META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"> does not work Is there a way to make sure that the current and updated pdf file gets served to the browser and it displays it? Any suggestions would help. Andy

Sorry all- I was coding it correctly- it was a problem with my WYSIWYG program. All fixed now.

Actually- I did define the $pdf variable like so; $pdf = $_GET['pdf']; This is done at the very start of the page. So $pdf does infact echo out Whatever.pdf

I am trying to dynamically display an embeded pdf on a page with a variable that is passed via the $_GET method link- http://www.mysite.com/pdf_display_page.php?pdf=Whatever.pdf <embed src="http://www.mysite.com/reviews/<?php echo $pdf;?>" width="585px" height="400px"> It does not work. Testing the $_GET variable does show the Whatever.pdf Is it because of the double quotes somehow?
