Anyway, this is based on neither fork, but on the type/creator code of
the file.  For afpd, you can specify translations of extensions into
type/creator codes in the file /etc/netatalk/AppleVolumes.system .
Actually, it looks as if this is done correctly for PDF files by
default, at least I find a line

.pdf  "PDF "  "CARO"  Portable Document Format  Acrobat Reader  application/pdf

in my AppleVolumes.system.  Works nicely for Unix filesystems, I
haven't tried with HFS though.

The option is `-o fork=netatalk', and can be found in the Netatalk-HOWTO.
