The problem appears to be with the way Corel products (in my case, WordPerfect 10) convert files to pdf.  If you search the Adobe website for "linearized hint," you will turn up a number of posts on the subject, as well as a workaround (in Acrobat Reader preferences/options, uncheck Allow Fast Web View).  Unfortunately, you can't expect visitors
to your website to change their preferences to suit the quirks of Corel's pdf publisher.  However, if you want to download a file from a website, you might try the workaround.

I have been having the same problem with a pdf file I created using WordPerfect 10.  Interestingly, while I am unable to download the file in either Netscape 4.72 or Internet Explorer 6 due to the hint data problem, I have no problem downloading it with Opera 6, even though all are using the same Acrobat 5.05 plug-in.  It's a bit of a mystery.
