FM 4, PDF and custom web publishing

I have a database which is running on FMpro 4 and i have a field which stores the URL of PDF documents which will be hosted on my machine. To open the pdf document, I use an <A href="[FMP-field]"></A> (i can't remember the exact syntax but that isn't the problem) . When i click on it, the user is asked immediatly if he wishes to save the document (the open file from location option is not available).

here is the problem; the document is encoded as a html document. I have tried the different variations in the A HREF such as Raw, URL, HTML and they all behave the same. Could this be a FMpro4 problem, maybe it can't recognize PDF?

My guess is that it is a browser problem. Try to download a couple of pdf's from elsewhere with the same browser to see what happens.

The other thing which may be happening is that, if FM4 is serving the pdf, is that it may only be able to serve mime/html file types.

Good Luck.
