Version: 3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux the feature was first discussed here : http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127008 I think it would be usefull to be able to open pdf files, even if they doesn't end with a ".pdf" extension. It would at least be usefull for php generated pdf. Regards, Diwann
kpdf is able to open pdf files generated by php script if the php script correctly informs of the mimetype, or at least it worked here last time i found a page like that. If you have an example where this does not work, please link it here.
Created attachment 18919 [details] PDF that doesn't open with KPDF it works at least with every pdf that have a known non pdf extension I just generated this pdf with openoffice and renamed it with .asp : file pdf-without-proper-extension.pdf.asp pdf-without-proper-extension.pdf.asp: PDF document, version 1.4 it is still a pdf but kpdf: WARNING: Unknown mimetype 'application/x-asp'. Regards, Erwann
really, i don't see this comming from a php script. you are asking exactly the same that was asked on bug 127008?
the bug 127008 has been closed and still exists. and it is not exaclty the same because it occurs not only on php generated pdf. It occurs for every pdf, not named exactly *.pdf
If it's exactly the same as 127008, it's a duplicate, read there to see why this is not a kpdf problem but a kdelibs problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127008 ***
