I didn't know this::

>
>The first 4 bytes of every PDF file are "%PDF".
>Is it possible that it wasn't actually a PDF, but
>a Word document, that someone had named ".pdf" in
>the naïve belief that this would create a PDF
>file? That would justify the failure of any
>program to open it, and if NeoOffice happens to
>ignore the extension and instead examines the
>file contents, that would explain its success.
