Hey there everyone, I asked a question in the chatterbox and got a few ideas, but they didn't lead me anywhere, but thank you regardless.

The problem is that if the user viewing a PDF tries to save or email it from Acrobat, it saves as "script.pl" but is actually the PDF. If the extension is changed, it'll open as a PDF. 


 $| = 1;   # turn off buffering of stdout
    
    open (FILE, "$path");
    
# Opens file immediately upon being clicked, but doesn't allow proper 
+saving of extensions when emailed from in Acrobat
    
    $page = $q->header(-type=>'application/pdf', -disposition=>'inline
+')
    . $q->start_html(-title=>$news_id.".pdf", -style=>{-src=>'../style
+.css' })
    . $q->start_form(-name=>'main')
    . $q->end_form();
    
    while (<FILE>) {
    print $_;
    }

    $page .= $q->end_html();

    $| = 0; #turn on buffering of stdout

    print $page;

I've tried a multitude of header variations, but nothing changes. I thought by providing the script, more light may be shed on it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
