The file that I am trying to load is a OOo -> PDF document -> Uploaded onto the web. http://roguexz.googlepages.com/HarshaRamesh.pdf
I do not think that it is an issue with the document per se, or is it?

Frank Cox:
Actually, it is a problem with that document, or at least with the way that
your webserver is providing it.

I get the "what to do with this file" dialog when I try to open that too, but I
don't see it when I click on other PDF files.

"application/octet-stream" just means that this is some unidentified
binary, and the downloading application will have to figure out what to
do with it after it downloads.  You can't allocate a specific program to
that MIME type, because *any* sort of binary file can be sent that way.
The next non-PDF file would cause you similar problems.
That explains a lot!! I just tried opening up a file from the hard drive through firefox and it sure did open up within the browser! :-)

later,
