pdf file not opening
I am able to open the file when testing the web site I created, but some of the users are having the following error:
There was an error opening this document. The file cannot be found.
I tested on my computer which has adobe acrobat pdf pro X , and all works fine, however the users are not being able to open the created pdf file
Any ideas what could be happening?

I cannot do that since there is 1000+ computers and not everyone can have access to reader adobe.
Can you look at the code I posted, meabe there is a way to have this be compatible with other adobe versions?

"there is 1000+ computers and not everyone can have access to reader adobe. "
But if they have not access to Adobe Reader, they can't read pdf files! At least, they need some third party pdf reader...

Some of them have adobe reader, but is an old version, but that still doesnt allow them to open the file I think they have 8 , and I wrote the pdf on X..
if the file is downloaded via a script that generate the pdf file
(is not downloaded directly using the url to the pdf file)
you may be get a HTTP headers problem (generally in IE6-7) .
note that the content-type you are using is:
header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf");
and the content is a FDF file
Try adding a "Content-disposition" header to name the file
