  php open fdf file in browser
  
  I am working with cakephp. I need to fill up a PDF form for which I have generated the fdf file by getting the code from http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields. 
  the fdf file is going to generate well but I am unable to open the file in browser. I have put the live PDF form URL in fdf file and use the following header to show the file. But shows the original content of fdf file.
  header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf");
  echo file_get_contents($fdf_doc);
  
  Please someone help to show the pdf file in browser with the data in fdf file.
  Here is the code which I am getting against the above two lines of code
  %FDF-1.2
