Hello again, Jacque, Friends,

See below how to drive this kind of workflow in using HTMLDOC (available
as source package for OSX, Win32, and Linux) from easysoftware.com (the
CUPS printing system author), with the help of Apache and PHP :

1.- the transcript server-sided part, witch outputs the result direclty
to the client-side webbrowser, where LeTestNe is, as var, the main part
of the name of the html file witch will be ouptputed as PDF file.:

>   put "<HTML><SCRIPT>window.open('wmc.php?f=/tmp/p" & LeTestNe & ".pdf');</SCRIPT></HTML>" into Retour
> end PDFoMaticbyMC

>   set httpheaders to "Content-Type: application/pdf" & cr & "Content-Length:" && the length of "lalalahitou" & cr & cr # Apache :oui ; IIS : non
>   put "<HTML><SCRIPT>window.open('wmc.php?f=/tmp/p" & LeTestNe & ".pdf');</SCRIPT></HTML>" into Retour
> end PDFoMaticbyMCLS

2.- the php part :

>        	"<BODY background='/gif/fond-maison.gif'><H1>File Not Found</H1><P>".
>         "<H3>Nom de fichier incorrect.</H3>".
> 	"</BODY></HTML><BR>\n");
> 	exit;

>  	{

>        	"<BODY background='/gif/fond-maison.gif'><H1>File Not Found</H1><P>".
>         "<H3>Le document attendu résulte d'une publication qui n'est plus

>        	"<BODY background='/gif/fond-maison.gif'><H1>File Not Found</H1><P>".
>         "<H3>Pour pouvoir consulter ce document, une mise-à-jour de votre navigateur IE est nécessaire.</H3>".
