I mentioned to you yesterday that the problem is either your browser 
handing of PDF files (i.e. it doesn't understand what 
content-type="application/pdf" means) or your servlet output header 
(i.e. it's not setting up the content-type to "application/pdf").

I visited your URI:
http://billdevel.sedata.com/servlet/FopServlet?xml=xml/projectteam.xml&xsl=xsl/projectteam2fo.xsl

And I get a valid PDF file, so apparently the servlet and the app server 
are issuing the correct content-type.  That leaves your browser as the 
problem.

I just ran a test on Mozilla 1.5 Winblows, Internet Explorer 6, and 
Mozilla 1.5 Linux (with xpdf as the handler).  I got the correct file in 
all cases.  You can see the sample screen shot of what I got at 
http://cime.net/test/clip.png

Please re-install Acrobat Reader (or whatever you're using for 
displaying PDF files), or check your browser's documentation to ensure 
that your browser knows how to handle "application/pdf" input.

You may also try right clicking on your own link, above, and use "Save 
as..." to save your output to local disk.  When you're done, open the 
file with a PDF reader.  You'll see that everything is copacetic.

Cheers,

Eugene
