Its not over https though it will be.

I've tested it on Firefox and IE 7 on the same PC.

It would appear that the file is corrupting with IE7 (the error says it 
may be to do with encoding) because a file downloaded by Firefox can be 
read by Acrobat.

I'm telling IE that the content-type is application/pdf, the 
content-disposition is attachment, and the file length.

Does it need more information or is this information wrong?
