Are there other causes? I have a process that converts literally thousands of PDFs and saves them in the database. Several times, I run into this issue. Dumping the problem PDFs shows that they all begin with '%PDF-1.4'. Acrobat, Reader, etc., all display them properly. I'm using the 2.1.2 version.
