Problem when downloading pdf from Sitecore site

I had a Mime-type problem when downloading pdf from Sitecore site the following error showed up in the log:

8368 10:31:54 ERROR Application error.
Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Sitecore MimeConfig

This turned out to be a problem with MIME-types, and to solve it download the MimeConfig and add a reference to it in web.config as described in this Sitecore documentation.

Open the file and make sure that a mime entry for PDF exists and make sure it is not commented out.
