This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

After executing a report with PARAMFORM=YES using Firefox browser, the report output is saved to the local machine using "File -> Save as" from the browser.

When trying to open the saved pdf file, the following error occurs:

ERROR
Acrobat could not open xxx.pdf because it's either not a supported file type or
because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as email attachment
and wasn't correctly decoded).


The issue does not happen when doing the same with Internet Explorer browser or when the report is executed with PARAMFORM=NO.
