I'm actually using both. 
Btw, The fact is that the '.pdf' extension doesn't appear as the pdf
stream is returned by a java servelt. Thus only the 'Content-type:
application/pdf' informs mod_gzip he's tampering with pdf content.

I just urged my users to unactive the Acroread 'in-browser' view, and
everything's fine now.

The good results we obtain worth the change.

Thanks for your work and your help

MR.
