Actually, the problem exists for any PDF.

A couple of examples:

1) I am uploading a PDF paper to the www.epapers.org site, that manages 
many conference submissions.  The paper is rejected as the epapers site 
thinks it is not PDF.  If I do exactly the same operation with konqueror 
it succeeds.  Unfortunately here I cannot send you the PDF as it is a 
still unpublished article.

2) I am uploading some PDF slides to our Dept. repository.  Here the 
site after receiving a file indicates the mime type of the received 
file.  If I submit with konqueror I get application/PDF, if I submit 
with firefox, I don't.  You can retreive any of these files at 
http://sergio.callegari.googlepages.com/sseia-slides-2007.html.

Thanks,

Sergio
