I have a very unusual problem. I have made a program in powerbasic. One of the things it does is make a billing pdf form. The program is located on file server. 3 PC's (all win 7) are using the program. One one PC the pdf file is shown correctly. One the other 2 the file that is made is corrupt. It can not be shown. If you look at it with an editor you see that the /kids entry is corrupt: %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 1 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Count 1 /Kids [ 2 0 €endobj 2 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 1 0 R /Resources << Between the 0 and the €endobj there are several null-characters!!! If I correct this in the editor the file is OK. What could be the problem here? Marc file:///D:/FAC5990_1_02.ORG.pdf - |

Hi Marc! This would be the correct content in your case: . . . 1 0 obj <</Type /Pages /Count 1 /Kids [2 0 R ]>>endobj . . . 2 0 obj <</Type /Page /Parent 1 0 R /. . . . . . I assume that the three billing forms are made from three different sources (csv or something similar). Perhaps there's still a data problem in the source? Cheers, Ingo |

Hello Ingo, Sorry I did not reply sooner. This is the funny part. Both computer are using the same program and printing a billing form of the same client!!! p.s. Are atachments allowed? I can atach both pdf's. Made at the same time. |

Hi! For attachments and support you should get on the official support pages. There's an upload-functionality, too. This here is only a user-user-forum. Cheers, Ingo |

Thank you Ingo, So you are puzzled too :) Could you tell me where I can find the pdf format. I would like to know what the R stands for in /Kids [2 0 R ] Many thanks, Marc

Hi Marc! On the Adobe-pages you'll find the pdf-specifications. A document with hundreds of pages ;-) I don't think that it's a real problem you have. It's only a concatination of small installation problems. QuickPDF (for example) needs the gdiplus.dll ... Is it on each win-installation? Is it always the same version? Are there other QuickPDF-installations? Many questions... i think making a complete new win7-installation will sove the problem... Cheers, Ingo |

Thank you again. Will try the official support first. Reinstalling WIN7 to get my pdf functionality working is a bit drastic. Marc

Hi Marc! On one system it works and on another same? system it doesn't work. So it's up to you where's the difference. I fear this isn't possible to answer from far away ;-) Cheers, Ingo |

Hi, Just a follow-up. The computer where it worked was a member of a HomeGroup. As soon as I put the other 2 computers in that HomeGroup they were able to generate non-corrupt pdf files. ?!?!?!?!? |

I will have to retract previous statement. Now it works part of the time on the 2 computers, but not always...
