My code: 
print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$MyPDF\n\n";

[download]
When the download finished and I try to open the file the file is corrupt and got 0 bytes. On my webserver this file got an correct filesize, and if I download via FTP I can open the file without a problem. Using application/x-pdf instead of the above does not help too. I tried with Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary still same result.


Edit: Okay, I failed this time again ;-)
When writing an reply for @Corion I just saw what I did wrong. When writing this, read @McA 's reply. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.

print "Content-Type: application/pdf\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$MyPDF\n\n";

open FILE, "<", $MyPDF;
my @aPDF = <FILE>;
close FILE;

print @aPDF;
