Download pdf-file

  • Follow


I tried to download a pdf-file but failed, because after clicking the file I
got a new screen.
This screen showed a new address containing the pdf-file in a different
format  such as ......._pdf.htm.
I could not open this file as a pdf-file but only as an unreadable
text-file.

What is going wrong ?

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like the server is misconfigured to send PDF files as TXT or 
HTML. You need to contact the server operator and ask them to fix it.

If you have access to command-line tools, you could test this by using a 
command-line retrived like wget or dog, which show you the HTTP headers.
