Guest WindyMiller Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Hi have installed pdf reader, but when I download a pdf file it comes down as html any ideas what I'm doing wrong? ;)
Guest warwound Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 It might not be a problem with your mobile but a problem with the site that you're downloading the PDF from. The site needs to send the PDF to your mobile with the correct MIME type so your mobile recognises what type of file is being downloaded and opens it with the correct program. If no MIME type is sent with the PDF then the default MIME type is used and the default MIME type is text/html so your browser will think the PDF is a text file or webpage. Can you post a link to the PDF? Alternatively if you try to download the PDF on a PC does the PC browser recognise it as a PDF and open it in the PC's PDF reader? warwound.
