I've had a few people tell me that they can't read pdf files from my web space at MV.
I have no trouble, with either Mozilla or Netscape, from Linux, or with I.E./AcrobatReader(5.0) from a W98 box. But I've seen the problem with my boss's XP box. Even though he can read other pdf files from the web, he gets a truncated and mangled file, even if I tel I.E. to save as rather than try to open it itself. If I put the file on his machine (using samba from my laptop), he can read it fine. My pdf files tend to be produced by pdflatex, or one of the other tex related tools. I'm wondering if there isn't some magic header that XP/I.E. may be being anal about looking for, or some kind of MIME type info from the server that mv may not be generating correctly based on the file extension, etc., and whether I'm likely to be able to hack things up to fix it (e.g.; add a header by hand). Any thoughts? Bill _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
