PDF appearing as symbols

Hi all :-)

I've just rebuilt my Linux box with FC2 and i've run into something really weird...
I've built a web server with Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 - And using FPDF to create PDF files dynamically...

However, when I create my PDF and try to view it in my browser (tried Firefox and Mozilla) it comes up with a few weird symbols... (I won't post them just in case it breaks LQ's DB).

Has anyone got any ideas why this might be happening? I tried it on a different webserver and it worked fine.

Hmmmm k I added this to my PHP script and it opened it fine (don't have to do this on the other webserver though)

header('Content-Type: application/pdf');

I had the same setup beforehand and it worked fine, don't understand whats happening.
Any help would be much appreciated
