Inconsistent PDF link behaviour

  • Hello all,

    I recently built a WordPress site for a catering company and figured the best way to go for displaying their menus would be to simply add a link to a PDF file, as they change them pretty much every month.
    When I built the site I tested it on both a PC and a mac and in all the major browsers, without any problems downloading the PDFs but now my client called me complaining that they can’t view or download the PDFs from the site and that they had people calling them with the same problem, saying the PDF “could not open or appears broken”.

    I really can’t see what have gone wrong nor if this could be caused by my code. Has any one else had this same problem or any ideas of what may have caused it?

    Here is the site (click on the images to view the PDF)

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • I get ‘This file is damaged and could not be repaired’ in IE7

    Are the files valid?

    PDF downloads just fine for me, but upon opening the file it’s reported to be corrupt or damaged.

    Ok, I will let them know and hopefully a new PDF will do the trick!

    Thanks for your quick response

    So I received a new PDF file but this was reported broken to me as well now. I refreshed the page and all of a sudden it worked fine. Very very strange…

    Could this have something to do with the file size or anything like that perhaps?

    If there was a problem with size the file would have never succeeded (i’d have thought)…

    I get problems sometimes when i send files over a wireless connection, it’s just something to consider, it may be totally unrelated..
