 * Each time I try and open a PDF file using this plugin I get an Adobe Reader error“
   Adobe Reader could not open ‘abc.pdf’ because it is either not a supported file
   type or because the file has been damaged.
 * If I try and open the same pdf file through php code directly in a PHP page it
   works fine.
 * Any suggestions?

 * This can be due to file, plugin makes no change to files being downloaded it 
   simply instruct browser to download file without displaying exact download path.
   You may use some other file may be zip etc and let me know if same issue occurs.

 * I am having the exact same problem as described above. When I open a PDF I get
   the Adobe Reader error “Adobe Reader could not open ‘abc.pdf’ because it is either
   not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.”
 * If I try and open the same pdf file through php code directly in a PHP page it
   works fine. I can also open the PDF file directly through Adobe Reader.
 * Please advise with a solution to this problem. I would love to be able to use
   this plugin.
