I really wasn't sure what stack exchange to put this in, there are just so many!
I get what you're saying.... My Safari browser opens other PDF documents generated by other craft websites fine, just not this one. So it's not an issue with the browser not understanding what to do with the PDF but more an issue with the generated PDF. I have compared response headers but I can't see anything.

An example of the PDF is <https://kendal.ac.uk/courses/2018.pdf>

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
