Not really. You can, of course, rename them after the fact. A
Bourne-style shell script to do this might be:
for f in *.pdf\?*
do
newfname="$(echo $f | sed 's/\(\.pdf\).*$/\1/')"
(
set -x
mv "$f"
)
done
It's possible that the server sends Content-Disposition headers for
these files, suggesting a cleaner name for them. In that case, you might
consider downloading the latest development version of Wget
(http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#download), and
using the --content-disposition option.
