You don't say what is happening, so I can't begin to guess. However, check that you have a MIME mapping for the file type. You need to have application/x-pdf set up (though even if you don't it should still download a .pdf)

Personally I would recommend switching to PublishContrib.

Well, that's what so odd - it does nothing. No error in the httpd log.

I'll check out PublishContrib.

thanks
