Let me guess: you are using Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has a
serious bug that causes it not to store anything if a no-cache header is
sent, not even if it calls another program to display the contents. So
it calls acrobat with data that IE refuses to pass. So acrobat starts
with data that is not there.

Let me do another guess: you are sending "do-cache" headers because IE
needs them to overcome the above problem, and you are using sessions.

In this case, you need to know that a session_start() call also sends
no-cache headers. This is poorly (if at all) documented and took me a
few months to find out as well.

So if you send headers like "Pragma-cache", send them *after* you use
the session_start() function.

Hope this helps,
