Re: trying to download birary data

If you use a text editor to look at your PDF, you will see this on the first line: id is 45%PDF-1.4^[34m^M%âãÏÓ^[34m^M The debug output "id is 45" is not going to make any PDF reader/viewer happy, in a big way. I dunno what else might be wrong, but that's gotta get fixed first and foremost.
