Description Elvis Angelaccio 2016-02-11 11:35:30 UTC 
Hi, this is an issue very similar to #93549.
Uncompressed tar archives are detected by content as application/pdf, when they only contain a pdf file (or when their first member is a pdf file).

Example test archive: http://arxiv.org/e-print/1312.3844v2

The bug can be reproduced every time:

$ tar -cf test foo.pdf
$ xdg-mime query filetype test
application/pdf

This seems to be specific to pdf files. If you replace foo.pdf with e.g. foo.tex, the resulting archive is correctly detected as application/x-tar.
