Description:
(not sure if this is correct package - please move as necessary)
When trying to open a PDF file in GNOME, I get this message:
----------------------
Cannot open PS9.pdf
The filename "PS9.pdf" indicates that this file is of type "PDF document". The
contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document".
If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.
Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file
from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct
extension for "plain text document", then open the file normally.
Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the
file.
-------------------------
The properties dialofg shows file type as "plain text". However, the file is
indeed a PDF file; it starts with
%PDF-1.2
and opens just fine in acroread and evince. Moreover, I had no problems opening
the same file on Ubuntu Breezy machine, where it was indentified as "PDF
document"
