PDF Files Display as Gibberish

[firepwr]

I've got a website that was just set up (Win 2K3 Server, IIS 6.0). Everything works fine except that when I view a file with a .pdf extension it displays as gibberish in the browser. I remember having a similar problem a long time ago in a different setting but I can't remember what the solution was. Can anyone help?

BTW, it is NOT a local problem. I can open other .pdf documents on other sites in my browser---it is an IIS configuration issue. Thanks.

My first suggestion, it to move that pdf file over again, they can get messed up when transfering to the webserver.

Then i would look into this

Heh...heh...you know just to "humor" you I moved a PDF I downloaded from another site just to test this. Wouldn't you know it that one shows up just fine.... Grrr....

Thanks.
