I did a quick hack to see if the problem existed with a random pdf
file that wasnt dynamically generated. I also tried it on a stand
alone tomcat server with the same error. This only occurs with larger
PDF files mind you.

Heres my code:
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
            int bytesRead;
            int bytes=0;
            //    This while loop is simply to get the amount of bytes being sent,
couldnt be bothered looking up a better way
            while(-1 != (bytesRead = fis.read(buff, 0, buff.length)))
            {
                for(int i=0; i < buff.length; i++) if(buff[i]==1 ||
buff[i]==0)bytes++;
                for(int i=0; i < buff.length; i++) buff[i] = -1;
            }
            resp.setContentLength(bytes);
            resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
            resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "filename=List.pdf");
            while(-1 != (bytesRead = fis.read(buff, 0, buff.length)))
            {
                resp.getOutputStream().write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
            }

I know its a messy hack, but i only wanted a quick test. Problem still
exists. If you want to test it on your own tomcat have a go. You
should be able to copy paste the code into an action and have it work
fine. I would assume any large pdf would do, i can't send out the
PDF's we have here as it contains copywrite information. Sorry.

As always any help is greatly appreciated!

Sorry,

That code should have been:

            File file = new File("C:\\Development\\newfile.pdf");
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
            int bytes=0;
            while(fis.read(buff, 0, buff.length)!=-1)
            {
                bytes+=buff.length;
            }
            fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            resp.setContentLength(bytes);
            resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
            resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "filename=List.pdf");
            while(fis.read(buff, 0, buff.length)!=-1)
            {
                resp.getOutputStream().write(buff, 0, buff.length);
            }

Even more sensible code:

            File file = new File("C:\\Development\\newfile.pdf");
            int bytes= (int)file.length();

            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            byte[] buff = new byte[2048];
            resp.setContentLength(bytes);
            resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
            resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "filename=List.pdf");
            while(fis.read(buff, 0, buff.length)!=-1)
            {
                resp.getOutputStream().write(buff, 0, buff.length);
            }

which doesnt work.
