FYI for the PDF name representation sigs I would update them because I have
since updated them with some FP updates so they are more accurate (namely
negating the actual word such as pages in the PCRE). Regards, Kevin

Considering that the packet makes it enough for snort to alert, but not
log some packets makes me think it's not a networking issue.  Can anyone
see anything that I'm glaringly missing?  The only common factor I can
see is that it always seems to be port 80.  Interestingly...none of the
below show up either:
