[Zope] pdf files dont work ??

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Are you running Apache or a proxy in front of Zope?  It might be a
"byte-serving" issue.  For example, byte-serving (serving between byte
offsets, or a page-at-a-time to acrobat reader) is implemented by Apache >
1.3.9 (I think), but is broken in 1.3.14, and fixed by 1.3.19...  Anyway,
I've seen this kind of problem before...
