Could you please also say which error do you get?
Comment 2 Michał Kudła 2008-02-25 22:57:05 UTC

Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2008-02-25 23:26:56 UTC 
That file is not a PDF as PDF files are mandated to end with %%EOF, this file has lots of garbage after the %%EOF, simply remove it and tell whoever generated it to learn how to generate pdf files.
Comment 4 Michał Kudła 2008-02-27 00:40:49 UTC 
hmmm, but Adobe and KGoustView read this file. 
Maybe we should add showing thats non-standard-files with any warrning?

More usability, please.

> More usability, please.

Ah, the magic word to use everywhere in the hope of something...
