[Coco] pdf files on cocodownunder

[Bob Devries]

Hi Coconuts,

It has come to my attention that not everybody can read the PDF files that I 
uploaded to the website www.cocodownunder.com

I originally created these with Adobe Acrobat Version 6.0.6, which allows me 
to create PDF's compatible with v5 (default) or v4 of Acrobat reader. I 
chose V5, thinking that *everybody* would have at least that version, seing 
that version 7 is now in common use (I thought).

It seems that I may be wrong about this.

I'd like comments from people who have tried, successfully or 
unsuccessfully, to read the pdf files I have uploaded there, whether with 
Acrobat reader (please state which version), or another windows or linux 
based PDF reader.

I don't currently have a linux box running, so I can't try any of that 
flovour pdf reader. I did try version 4 of Acrobat Reader, and it barfs on 
the files.

If I scan the pages with V4 compatibility set, then V4 of Acrobat Reader has 
no problems. However, there seems to be no way to make the existing (V5) 
files compatible with V4, short of re-scanning the documents.

I'd like to hear from y'all.
