Re: [mv] .PDF files in a MV page

Joachim, I took your suggestion and modified it slightly for Unix to:

perl -npi.bak -e "s:\n::g" ATT.html

which did remove the new-line but I'm not sure that this is what Mike was suggestion.  Since the
results with this modified page is still not desirable, I fell-back to the original page with
new-lines.

The page load still fails with the same "An error has occurred while trying to use this document."
when running on the client Netscape with Acrobat.  Looking at the source, this is what you see for
the cell in the table:

<TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN=LEFT><!--MV tag for PDF file--></TD>

The original source was:

<TD VALIGN="top" ALIGN=LEFT>
[tag op=header]
Content-Type: application/pdf
[/tag][file PDF/pdf.001]
</TD>
