print "Content-type: application/vnd.fdf\n\n";

This line (in theory) tells the browser that what is about to come is a fdf file for a application. On a computer that has Acrobat reader installed it should reconize it as such and fire up the reader in the web browser.

    Well assuming there isn't some other problem couldn't you simply redirect to the URL ...

    http://www.mywebplace.com/fdf_pdfs/App.pdf

    ... after you created it?

      No, the PDF is already created, this script should make a FDF file that points to the PDF file. Acrobat would open the PDF and import the information from the FDF file to 'populate' the from with the information from the SQL db.
