just guessing... \pdfminorversion 3 or \pdfobjcompresslevel=0 % 0-3 (default 3); 0= don't compress object streams If I remember it right Acrobat versions <6 can't read pdf with obj stream compression. See pdftex manual for details.

Yep! Greetings, Peter

If I remember it right Acrobat versions <6 can't read pdf with obj stream compression. See pdftex manual for details.
If they can read PDF 1.5 (i.e. AR6++), they can also handle stream compression. Best Martin

Hi John, the output looks fine to me, I see your document on Acrobat 8.1 at a Windows machine and have no problems. Your friend could mean to reduce the PDF version of your document, you could use PDFTeX's \pdfminorversion for this purpose. Wolfgang

indeed if one has a full acrobat one can convert it hwile preflighting the document is ok for acrobat >= 6; for acrobat 4/5 transparency flattening and/or layer info is to be discarded; ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

No. :-)

It's PDF 1.5, so readers need at least AR6. You can switch to e.g. PDF 1.3 with \pdfminorversion=3 Best Martin
