 * Often when uploading a pdf the link will open and give the error: This PDF document
   might not be displayed correctly Open with different viewer. When I open with
   Adobe I receive an error: could not open because it is either not a supported
   file type or because the file has been damaged(for example, it was sent as an
   email attachment and wasn’t correctly decoded).
 * If I copy the exact same file that I uploaded over the file that was uploaded
   in WP the link will work so I think there has to be some sort of problem with
   the upload mechanism.

 * Please check the upload file size limit in your server. That might me the reason
   that a large file is not uploaded fully.
 * If you have multiple files attached to a single post and the files are large 
   then try to upload a single file each time.
