Thanks, Terry...

We are still at DSpace 1.3.2 (I am planning on moving to 1.4.2 when I get all of my local mods upgraded to the new code..."sigh"). I will add this patch to my 1.4.2 source, though.

I'm not sure what version of Dspace you are using, but there is a patch for this. You can find it here: <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=319984&aid=1751638&group_id=19984>https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=319984&aid=1751638&group_id=19984. The issue can be found in both browsers and as the patch describes, is related to how many pdf viewers render the content inline within the browser (though, truth be told, I've only ever seen this error show up while using Adobe's Readers in FireFox -- which is why I switched to the FoxIt PDF Readers long time ago).

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Problem viewing PDFs with Firefox

Hi...

I can't recall if this has been mentioned on the list, but we (at
Cornell) have found a problem with our users viewing PDF's larger
that 6MB from DSpace if they are using Firefox.

For instance, the following item <http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3900>http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3900 has
a PDF that is 6.4MB.  If you try to view it with IE, it's fine.  If
you try to view it with Firefox, you get the message: "The file is
damaged and could not be repaired".  I am not sure where the
breakpoint is, but I know that other PDFs less than 6MB can be viewed.
