Shane:Yes, we encountered this problem as well with Firefox. Terry Reese from Oregon State told me that there was a patch posted sometime ago that forces the browser to initiate a download by setting the Content-Disposition header element rather than inline viewing if the file is over a specific file size. The patch is found here:

The patch sets the threshold to 20 MB. I set our threshold to 5MB. At 02:47 PM 1/29/2009, Shane Beers wrote:
I'm going to guess this is related to the default functionality of how firefox opens PDFs, but I'll ask here anyway. The collection admin for a particular section of our IR wrote me saying that she was getting an error opening a PDF from the IR. She would get the error "The file is damaged and could not be repaired" from Adobe Acrobat. If she right clicked and saved as... to her computer and opened it it was fine. It also opened fine from IE. My guess is that Acrobat is trying to open the file before it has actually completed downloading. The file is 27mb, so that could potentially be the issue. It works fine from my mac and firefox browser, however. Is this a problem anyone else has run into? If so, is it something that can be "fixed" from DSpace's end? Thanks.
