render as PDF downloads as unknown file type
Was trying to play around with the new PDF functionality of Visualforce. I found a post (http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=Visualforce&message.id=1782) that shows how to dynamically display it based on the url. When I ran the following code, I receive a File Download dialog box saying
Name: vforcetest.url=1
Type: Unknown File Type
When I save the file and then rename it from vforcetest.url=1 to vforcetest.pdf, the page opens up in Adobe Reader displaying the pdf correctly. I've tested this both in a developer sandbox and in production along with different profiles. Has anyone run into something like this? I changed a page to renderas pdf last week and it worked fine.
Here is the code I used:

Here is the code I used:
Code:
<apex:page renderAs="{!if($CurrentPage.parameters.p == null, null, 'pdf')}"> <apex:pageBlock title="Some Page Block"> <apex:pageBlockSection title="Section 1"> Text </apex:pageBlockSection> <apex:pageBlockSection title="Section 2"> Text </apex:pageBlockSection> </apex:pageBlock> <apex:outputLink rendered="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.p == null}" value="/apex/vforcetest—p=true" target="_blank">PDF</apex:outputLink> </apex:page>
I got the same error.
Thanks !
