11g pdf report via url '%PDF-' error

Question

Summary

Content

We are experiencing an unusual error. We have several url based reports (like http://server:port/xmlpserver/ReportDirectory/ReportName.xdo with parameters attached) that use pdf templates.

1) From within our applications, the links generate a "File does not begin with '%PDF-'. Local EWH-56828-0" in general

2) If we log into the BI Publisher, and return to the page in the application, the report links work fine, generating the pdf without any error, passes all parameters correctly, etc.

All reports have been set to 'Run report online'.  Does anyone have a clue what might resolve this error while still using url links?

1) mostly there is some issue with the data source

2) there may be a data issue..(long datatype)

Hope this helps ..
