PDF problem

Hi..
    
       I want to display contact details in PDF format. I write a page and its work fine.
 
I am using custom button in Contact detail page for genrate this PDF
 
      Custom Button Properties:
  
         Behavior               - Display in new window
         Display Type        - Detail Page Button 
         Button or Link       - URL https://na6.salesforce.com/apex/ContactPDF
         Show Scrollbars  - True  
         Resizable             - True
My problem is when I click PDF button in Contact detail page, one new blank window is opened along with PDF
 
  How to avoid it..
 
I think I made a mistake in button properties...
 
    Any one guide me..

Probably your username is setup to work in developer mode.

Turn it off and then the page is loaded normally which in fact will be a PDF document. Then it should work fine.
