Comment	> One of our major colleges has installed the Ariel program from > Infotrieve.com to generate PDF documents. The problem is that these > PDF documents are damaged when they are viewed or downloaded from the > IMP interface because they are being translated into a mime printable > format (hex 0D is replaced by the ascii string =0D, etc). PDF files > generated by Openoffice are displayed just fine. > > > > Using a standard mail client program (such as Thunderbird), one is > able to view and save the PDF files without this translation > happening to the Ariel generated files. > > > > IMP shows the pdf.gif for both types of PDF files, but the download > process seems to be very different. This has been tested with > Firefox on Fedora Core 3, MacOS X 10.3.7, Windows XP/SP2, also with > Mozilla 1.7 on RedHat 9 and IE on Windows XP. And it always > translates the Ariel generated PDF into a "damaged file" according to > acrobat, xpdf, ggv, and MacOS X's preview. > > > > Has anyone figured out how to provide support for the files Ariel is > generating or is a newer version of IMP needed? > > > > Thanks
