Do you by any chance use character protrusion. I had trouble with character protrusion with pdf-1.4. It works correctly on my computer (WinXP+Acrobat 7.0) but, I could not open the file on Solaris+Acroread 5.0. Acroread 7.0 opened the file correctly on Solaris, so I assumed that acroread 5.0 does not support the new method of character protrusion of pdftex. I sent the file to someone on a Mac. If they double clicked on the file, acrobat 7 reported the file was damaged. If they opened the file from File->Open menu, it opened correctly. Since it was not my computer, and the file was opening correctly, I assumed it was a problem with the configuration on the Mac. (As you can see, I am very confident that pdftex is doing the right thing :). Disable character protrusion got rid of the problem with acroread 5.0 and Mac, so I did not worry about it more (there were other things to worry about, like the content of the pdf) Aditya _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
