Get "Failed - Network Error" in Chrome when downloading a PDF
Hi All,
Hoping someone can give me some insight. I have a simple PDF page returned via Apex
In every browser except Chrome you can download the resulting PDF without issue. In Chrome, you can view the PDF no problem, but you get a "Failed - Network Error" message if you try to download it. Searching through many fourms, it seems that after a certain Chrome update, you get this error if the "content-length" header is not set properly. The Chrome help fourms say that it needs to be fixed on our end, but for us, I believe the content-length hearder is set behind the scenes and we don't have the power to over-ride it (I've tried, and have also read in other posts that you can't).
Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a solution?

The first vf page gathers some info from the user, and after pressing a button, this function returns the PDF version of the Pack Slip for download / printing.In every browser except Chrome you can download the resulting PDF without issue.
