Not hard at all, apparently. 

Since I'd never done this in Rails and knew I'll need it soon, I just
created a new project (Rails 2.1), installed the attachment_fu plugin
and, following this handy-dandy tutorial:
  <http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24#FileUploadFu>
:: created an upload tester in about 15 minutes.

I uploaded a Word (97, .doc) file and a PDF file. And then opened the
stored files successfully.

So I think it's a given that Rails (or at least attachment_fu) can handle
whatever binary file type you have. 

Have you compared checksums of the two versions of the file you're
having trouble with? Are you *sure* you downloaded it using FTP
*in binary mode*?
