Pdf file problem '%PDF-'

Question

Hi,
I have a problem when I open some pdf file ( > 500 kb)  <i>"cannot open '%PDF-' file corrupted".</i>
I have this problem only with <b>internet</b> connection through reverse proxy (apache - mod_proxy - and IIS - IISProxy-).
All it is ok if the logon comes carried out via Intranet (without reverse proxy).
My system : ep6 sp9 - was 640
Can anyone give some help?
Thanks,
Domenico

Hello all,
I've solved this problem... may be it isn't the best solution, but now I don't have any problem with big pdf files.
Sometimes Acrobat Reader may not be properly displaying the PDF file within the browser. And I've found that, to solve this problem, Adobe recommends configuring Acrobat Reader as a 'helper', not a 'plug-in'. To configure Acrobat or Acrobat Reader as a helper application:
1.) Exit or close your browser.
2.) Start or open Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
3.) Select your version of Acrobat and follow the instructions below.
Acrobat 6.0 or above on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences' from the Edit menu.
2.) From the Preferences dialog box, select 'Internet' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Display PDF in browser'.
Acrobat 5.0 on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences/General' from the Edit menu.
2.) From the Preferences dialog box, select 'Options' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Display PDF in Browser' under Web Browser Options.
Acrobat 4.0 on Windows:
1.) Select 'Preferences/General' from the File menu.
2.) From the General Preferences dialog box, select 'Options' from list on the left.
3.) Uncheck 'Web Browser Integration' under Options.
( I've found it at: http://www.aspplayground.net/forum/m_382719/printable.htm )
Now, when you click on a pdf link the file is opened outside the browser using the Acrobat Reader applicantion and without any problem.
I hope this helps you _
