Bob,
I'm too paranoid to click your links with the current PDF exploits that are in the wild (no offense), but it sounds like one of three things to me: 1. Your web server may not have the proper file type information for the PDF file type (in other words, the file mime.types in your web server configuration doesn't have the mapping "application/pdf pdf" in it). 2. The files don't all have a PDF extension on them. 3. Your brower somehow lost either the mapping of application/pdf to Acrobat or the mapping of the .pdf extension to Acrobat.
Thanks Chuck - no offense taken.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't numbers 1 and 3 result in an error for _any_ pdf file? As noted in another response, there are only a few files which give a problem.
As for your number 2 - all files do have the .pdf extension both in the listed name on the Drupal page and in the underlying file system (a Linux host on Westhost.com).
