Hmmm.  So you have a PHP script that sets the mimetype correctly and
then outputs straight PDF data, but the user's browser does not accept
it as a PDF because the extension of the script is PHP?  I find that
strange.

If you can't find a better solution (something weird is going on in my
mind) maybe a work-around is mod_rewrite?  You could link to the PHP
script with a PDF extension and then rewrite it to the PHP extension
behind the scenes.

I agree it's not a solution, but client misconfiguration is difficult,
often impossible, to solve with server-side scripting.  If you could
identify the misconfiguration, your site could offer a how-to document
to instruct users how to configure their software correctly.
