I tried a very simple test with a very small PDF file. The code is:

<?php
$pdfFile = "./images/Postcard.pdf";
echo $pdfFile . "<br>";
$fp = gzopen($pdfFile, "r");
$rawStream = gzread($fp, 5000000);
gzclose($fp);
echo "**" .$rawStream . "**<br>";
$stream = gzuncompress($rawStream);
echo $stream;
?>


It came up with a "data error" in the line with
$stream = gzuncompress($rawStream);
The error was in the gzuncompress.
