ASP.NET Crystal Reports Export PDF to IE6 issue

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

All works fine in FireFox 3.5.

I'm having a problem with my ASP.NET 3.5 web application. When I use the ReportDocument.ExportToHTTPResponse IE6 shows the following:

    %PDF-1.7

In other words, it doesnt notice that it is a pdf and it just exports it to the screen. Using debugbar i have noticed that IE6 is seeing the content type as application/pdf. Any ideas? Here is the .NET code i was using.

ReportDocument doc = new ReportDocument();
                doc.Load(fileName);
                doc.SetDatabaseLogon(username, password);
                for(int i=0;i<values.Count;i++)
                {
                    doc.SetParameterValue(i, values[i]);
                }
                //ct.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                fileName=fileName.Substring(fileName.LastIndexOf('\\')+1);
                fileName = fileName.Remove(fileName.LastIndexOf('.'));
                fileName += ".pdf";
                //ct.Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+fileName);
                //ct.Response.RedirectLocation = ct.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.Remove(
                //    ct.Request.Url.AbsoluteUri.LastIndexOf('/')) +"/"+ fileName;
                doc.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, ct.Response,false,fileName);

As you can tell from my code i've tried a few things... but nothings working.

Any help is really appreciated. Thx!
