I had a similar problem downloading some .pdf's from Adobe some time ago, it turned out my problem was caused by stuffit. Here's what Adobe sent me; Q: Using version 4.5 of StuffIt Expander(tm), when I unstuff certain files they are corrupted. This does not happen if I use version 4.0. Can I fix this? A: Aladdin Systems has become aware of a problem in StuffIt Expander 4.5 in which some files appear to be corrupted but in actuality are not. The problem typically affects .pdf and .eps files. Once expanded, they will not open. The problem is in the unstuffing. It is due to the method we use to detect text files; the .pdf and.eps files are being detected as text, which is incorrect. There is a setting that can be changed in order to fix the problem. To change the setting in StuffIt Expander do the following. 1.Double-click StuffIt Expander or the StuffIt Expander alias. 2.Select 'Preferences' from the File menu. 3.Click the Cross Platform icon on the left. 4.Set the 'Convert text files to Macintosh format:' radio button to 'Never.' 5.Click the 'OK' button. 6.Quit StuffIt Expander. Worth a try if you're pulling hair out, eh? --Abe N. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
