I just visited those files (on the web) with Firefox, Internet
Explorer and Konquerer. The PDFs themselves are OK, but those that
reside on www.ibphoenix.com are served as text/html instead of
application/pdf. As a result, Firefox and Konqueror show the (text)
source of the PDF; IE corrects the type and shows them as PDF. If I
download those files to my harddisk and then open them in Konqueror,
they are displayed correctly. I'll notify IBPhoenix of this.

But your problem seems to be different. I guess it's something in
your local configuration. Maybe a flaw in your version of Konqueror?
(I tested with 3.1.1).
