Hi,

It seems your pdf gets recognized - otherwise you would not see absolutely anything.

The grey issue is entirely from your client (browser) side, it does not have anything to do with the content type and the rest. If let's say the content type would be wrong, you would see something garbled at best or nothing...

Hi Daniel,

These are my response header and content type.

response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Pragma","public");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=0");
response.addIntHeader("Content-Length", pdfData.length);
