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.
