This might be a bad practice, but I've had good luck with just the 
following:

header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.pdf"');
readfile('/path/to/file.pdf');

I don't think I'm sending the length of the file anywhere. This might be 
worth a shot.

Cheers,
Noah
