what do you mean? PDF files are binary data. that looks like the binary data of a PDF file to me, but interpreted as text. the content-type http header tells your browser what the output is, and how to interpret it. i bet your server told the browser Content-Type: text/html, and then just outputted the binary data of a PDF file. so the browser, being told that it was html, tried to render it as such, and because the PDF format and the HTML format are completely incompatible, you got that garbage rendering. to tell the browser this is a PDF file, treat it as such, send the HTTP header Content-Type: application/pdf

to set a header in PHP, use the header() function, eg

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
