RE: PDF to HTML or XML or something useful

Most frequently I encounter this error when the PDF is actually invalid
- but that requires reviewing the content at a source level.

I would welcome real-world example, if you could please forward it, of a
PDF made with other application that doesn't work with Adobe 7. Let me
know the application that produced it if you know. If it opens in other
PDF tools and is standard, I'll take Adobe to task and assume it is a
defect in their product.

Regards,

Norman Robinson

Try Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0. It seems Adobe has some hidden technology
that
will not allow PDF's made with other applications to run on all systems.
