After installing JoomSEF my PDF icon has stopped working. It appears that JoomSEF converts the URL to a */pdf instead of the ?format=pdf. For instance, this is what is being presented from the icon:

ord.uscourts.gov/attorneys/information-for-attorneys/pdf

However, if I change this to ord.uscourts.gov/attorneys/information-for-attorneys?format=pdf in the address bar I get my PDF.

I'm running Joomla 1.5.15 with JoomSEF 3.5.1

The site is running on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 with all updates
memory_limit = 1024M

The following PHP packages are installed:

Hello,
check what is the non-SEF format stored for the link you have mentioned.
I have tested this on default Joomla installation and there the PDF icon works just fine. So either there is incorrect URL stored for the PDF button (the reason could be revealed by the non-seo format) or the problem may have some connection with the template used.

Here what i have could you help

dos't SEF: prison-ministry/prison-ministry-060/pdf
works Real: index.php?option=com_content&catid=21&format=pdf&id=60&view=article&Itemid=65

This URL seems okay. So one more check to do is to find out whethere there does not exist more versions of the prison-ministry/prison-ministry-060/pdf link stored in the JoomSEF DB?

Otherwise, if the non-sef URL in this format works fine, there is no reason why the SEF one should not. (unless there is some conflicting URL or 301 redirect or something similar)

Cleared Log and Purged SEF URL still have the problem what could i do to help diagnose it out?
