Acrobat comes back and says "The file is damaged and could not be
repaired". If I skip the security checking and serve the file through
a self.redirect('downloads/filename.pdf'') Acrobat has no
problem with it, that is how I conclude that the file itself is OK but
the encoding is screwing things up.
There has been another recent thread regarding downloading files where
the core issue was IE. I have tested this in Firefox and Chrome so
pretty sure it is not a browser issue.
