Basically, the response headers are sent by DOMPDF’s stream() method.

In Firefox, the file is prompted as File #1.pdf. However, in Safari, the file is saved as File #1.pdf.html.

Does anyone know why Safari is appending the html extension to the filename?

I’m also using Kohana 3, serving the PDF from a controller method.

From what i see the content type is incorrect, i believe if that is fixed, your problem will be solved.
