With CA VM:Webserve, you have to not only transfer the file in binary, but specify no translate on display.

There are links to them in an HTML page. The point is that the files are complete and do display from their current location. FTP to VM corrupts them in some way. If I open the files on the PC with word, the first 4 bytes are %PDF. I have tried using both ASCII and Binary file transfers to VM and get the same message. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Jones Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 10:02 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Displaying PDFs Hi, Richard. I'm not following what the problem is here....you state that the PDF files display nicely from a VM web server....doesn't that imply that the PDF files are already stored on VM some place? Or is the VM web server getting the PDF files from the PC somehow? DJ Schuh, Richard wrote: > I have some PDFs that have been residing on a Windows machine.
