I find something in another newsgroup:

----------------------

I have solved this issue this way :

1) httpserver:/etc/apache2 # vi mod_mime-defaults.conf

I have added those lines :
# 25/03/05 added line ( IE bug with pdf mime types )
AddType application/x-pdf .pdf


2) Then i have commented out the PDF line in the magic file
httpserver:/etc/apache2 # vi magic

It should look like this :
# Acrobat
# (due to clamen at cs.cmu.edu)
#0  string    %PDF-    application/pdf # 25/03/05 line commented out (
IE bug )

3) httpserver:/etc/apache2 # apache2ctl restart

HTH...
