Sounds like the browser is not recognizing the mime-type you are sending
it, probably not a pdf problem but might be a problem with this:

print $q->header( "application/pdf" );

Usually when the browser can't figure out what type it is getting it
will fall back on text-dump mode and you'll get the file dumped as text
to the screen. Is the PDF plugin set up right? (I hate to ask that but
it seems the browser doesn't have something to handle the mime-type it
is getting.)

This sounds almost like it should be an application/octet-stream because
you are not actually feeding the browser a filename.pdf, you are feeding
it a binary stream.

Hit google with: pdf stream mime type

A lot to sift through, but hopefully some helpful breadcrumbs out there.
