I have this problem before too. :). It seems like this is a problem with some Internet Browsers. Here a workaround:
1-Try to cleary put the .pdf extension to your request. If this does not work. I also see that some version of MS IE I think 5.5 have problem with the Acrobat Reader. 2-Then try to change some of the options of the Acrobat Reader to dont let them to open into the browser windows. I hope it will help to you.
