WF-Section pdf problem

With a pdf file when I try to load it it would take a long time and lock the browser and when finished it would display garbage (not render the pdf file properly).

I am using Linux with pdftotext installed and within the PATH.
Anything I need to do?

Also why use pdftotext and not just pdf reader?

I'm also using WF-Section 1.01a

I did not know that this is even possible.
I uploaded .pdf files as attachment to an article, so users could download it and display on their own computer.

You mean upload a pdf file as an article and display it through the hosts pdfreader?

Well if I remember correct, herve uses an IIs system, and you have linux, maybe that's the problem in this case.

either way it dosen't work.

Although I believe it should.

I could use the pdftotext on its own and generate a good result.
