BIRT report download as pdf

Hi All,

I am using birt:viewer tag to generate the .rptdesign file into to pdf or xls of html.
Every thing work fine. but when the report is download as PDF is getting with some security Message as "Unknown file format". The popup does not have the open button since its is different file format. so as of that i need to save the file as with .pdf extension and open the file.

Is that any other way to give the File name with its extension so that the problem of downloading will be solved.

The birt Viewer tag i am using as such specified below

<birt:viewer id="XXXXXXX"
reportDesign="xxxxxxxx.rptdesign" pattern="frameset"
format="pdf" height="1" width="1">
</birt:param>
</birt:viewer>

Thanks in advance

This looks like a bug in the tag library. Can you open a bugzilla entry? You could try this extension
