[support] Bizarre behavior with uploaded PDF files

[Marty Landman]

Hi Bob,

I single clicked each pdf link on that page - only the 
jun/oct/nov/dec/ 09 files gave me the problem #2 you reference below. 
Never got #3. Win XP, FF 3. Is it possible something 'special' was 
done when creating those 4 problem files in Acrobat?
