Unfortunately, the people using Windows can't fix Acrobat Reader and don't have many alternatives. Of course, it's also somewhat unreasonable to expect software to handle damaged files properly. Either way, the problem needs to be fixed at the source - the OOo PDF export function. I just tested the document using the Windows version of OOo (3.2.1 - build 9502) and it worked. I'm can't imagine why the Windows version would handle footnotes differently - unless this is a new problem since build 9502. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm can't imagine why the Windows version would handle footnotes differently - unless this is a new problem since build 9502. Actually, it's a bug in all distros but not in the original OOo, so of course the Windows version works (for some values of work) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.

The security controls are greyed out unless you set a password - which I never do. The printing security is set to high resolution. The other security seetings also are set to the most permissive (although they are all greyed out). The other tabs don't seem to have anything unusual.
