Re: [squid-users] Squid/PDF

It's really a squid issue, not an Adobe issue, assuming that you're
viewing the .pdf in-browser via the Reader plugin (as opposed to
downloading, then opening)...

http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=2639

The issue is that the Acrobat plugin requests multiple byte ranges of
the document in a single HTTP request, and if those ranges are out-of-
order or overlapping, squid sees the range argument as "too complex"
and throws it out.

This request is unorthodox, but legal per the HTTP spec, thus the bug
report.
