[gui-talk] need help to open a difficult .pdf file

[Joel Deutsch]

Whoops! As I don't think I've ever noticed a post coming through this list 
bearing a file attachment (no matter that Jaws misreports this on mailing 
lists a lot of the time, saying that messages have attachments when they 
don't), I assumed mine wouldn't go through. But it has. Well, for anyone 
who's leery of opening it, I don't think there's any cause for worry. A 
friend sent it to me himself, and it's just some printed material from a 
medical study. Not malware. that said, I repeat that I was unable to make it 
open properly in Adobe Reader, for some reason. But I don't think there's 
anything sinister going on. Hope I'm right, of course.. :-)

malwear.

Hi,

Usually, when I encounter a .pdf file, I can click on it and have it open
and become readable with Adobe Reader. I have the latest version, if I
remember correctly, and it set itself up to interact with Jaws when I
installed it.

But with this file, when I try to open it, I get the Adobe interface screen
(I can see this happening) but, within a few seconds after I hear the usual
message that Adobe's preparing the document for reading, a message comes on
saying Warning! Empty document.

Warning? This is like a terrorist problem or something? Anyway, I'm sure
it's not an empty (does that mean blank?) document to the person who sent it
to me. Why is Adobe saying it's empty, now?

I'm I composed this message as a forward in order to retain the .pdf file
attachment, but I just realized it'll be stripped out of the email as the
message is distributed. Oh, well. So if anyone more experienced than me
would like to try their hand at opening the file so they can help me figure
out how to handle an impasse like this, just write me at
jdeutsch at dslextreme.com, and I'll gladly send the file as I meant to do here
to begin with.

thankss a lot.
