[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 525156"] Ok so the file was maybe partially corrupted or it was the way it was saved. Do you have Acrobat Professional? Maybe you could open the file in there and resave the file under another name, see if the new save wouldn't fix it? Or better yet if you had Acrobat Distiller, you could go in an application and save the file as a postscript file, then make a brand new .pdf file from it. If you have Distiller, you can save a file as a postscript file in just about any application in OS X Tiger (it is definitely different in Panther and I haven't tested this is Leopard so dunno if it is different from Tiger or not). Photoshop, Quark, etc. The way it works usually is you go to the print dialog box and click on [I]Print[/I] (or [I]Command[/I] + [I]P[/I]). I have two screenies: one with the dialog box in Photoshop and one in Preview. (Note: the correct extension to a postscript file is .[I]ps[/I]) If you don't have Distiller, I don't think you'll be able to do much with a postscript file though... :( [ATTACH=full]7186[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7187[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
