Desperately need help - ready to scrap FDF/PDF effort!

I am trying to generate FDF from the Java FDFToolkit via WebSphere 3.53 (JVM 1.3) on OS/390. The FDF stream sent to the browser is exactally the same as it is on NT running a test Java Application server. It works fine under the test environment, the FDF is sent to the Browser and all the PDF templates are added without a hitch. In the OS/390 environment I continually get the "Invalid file specification" (PDF file not found?) error when I set the mime type correctly.

It appears that the FDF is served up correctly but the PDF is not retrieved from the server, either because it cannot be found or because of a permissions problem. The PDF file permissions are set at 775.

I am using absolute addressing in my FDF. When I send my FDF to the Browser with a content type of text/html I can copy the PDF url, paste it into a Browser window, and the PDF is displayed. We have other apps that display PDF's from the OS/390 but none that are using FDF.

Any suggestions? Lot's of licenses will be affected if I can't get this solution to work.
