Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Please be more specific. Where can I get more information about this problem?
What are the "support channels" you mean? Can you suggest a link?

Thank you
 [2006-11-27 12:07 UTC] [email protected] 
There's a suggested link in tony2001's message.  Mailing lists and newsgroups are usually good support channels.
 [2009-11-20 09:03 UTC] emanuele at fondani dot it 
I found that the issue is due to the fact that in some cases in the gzipped pdf stream the zlib stream header (see RFC 1950) is missing or invalid, and the gzuncompress() function cannot decompress data.

Here's my workaround to fix the problem: I wrote a new ZlibDecompress class in PHP from some original C++ code by Mark Adler taken from the official zlib site, which uses the standard algorithm and always decompress the string correctly, ignoring the zlib stream header, as it contains only CRC data. 
Obviously this PHP class is much more slower than gzuncompress function, because it is not compiled, so I use it only when gzuncompress fails. For pdf files this happens only in a few cases, so this is a good compromise for me.

If anyone is interested please contact me by email and I will send the class file.

After many email requests for the code, i published it as a google code project.
You can download it at: http://code.google.com/p/zlibdecompress/
 [2015-03-13 07:34 UTC] emanuele at fondani dot it 
As Google Code is closing, I've moved the code to github:
https://github.com/eiannone/zlibdecompress
 [2015-03-13 09:49 UTC] [email protected] 
Did you try zlib_decode() yet? (since PHP-5.4)
