FAQ: Full PDF load issue (not loading chunk by chunk)

FAQ: While only few pages of PDF is supposed to be loaded. In some cases whole PDF is getting loaded during flipbook creation.

Some Wordpress plugins set PDF to be transferred as gzip. This causes the PDF to be loaded with full size.

Reported with:

WP-Rocket Plugin..

Solution:
adding PDF file extension to non gzip list. (mp3|**pdf|**avi) You can find this somewhere in the htaccess file.

# Don’t compress images and other uncompressible content
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \
\.(?:gif|jpe?g|png|rar|zip|exe|flv|mov|wma|mp3|pdf|avi|swf|mp?g)$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

As of now, Plugins like W3 Total Cache are working fine.
