I guess you're having the problem described here:

If so, the following might fix it / (untested with MSIE):

> %% snip of my psp-code %%
from os.path import getsize
>    fpdf = PDF_PATH + "/" + "pdf.pdf"
     # MSIE wants to know the content-length of some files (PDF)
     req.set_content_length(getsize(fpdf))
>    req.content_type = 'application/pdf'
     req.send_http_header()
>    req.sendfile(fpdf)
> 
> %% end of snip %%


HTH,
