msg while generate large pdf file

No one go to that url -- it is a virus! Just kidding...

Obviously it doesn't work because that is the Wikipedia website...

Anyway, since your test page is inaccessible, here is the new pseudo-code:

- Click on link
- Dynamically show waiting icon, possibly with text “Generating document…”
- When completed, the PDF document will load as usual

Hmm, actually, that is the same as before. To elaborate, you click on the link (server generates PDF and it takes a while), do your spinner thingy when the link is clicked, and when it is finished generating your PDF it will AUTOMATICALLY load in the same window (via Adobe Reader). That does not work? Which part are you stuck on? Are you trying to show a "Ready to download" link instead?
