Adobe Acrobat Reader Error 110

Anyone seen this error before? I have been using this component in an asp driven website for years, but when adobe acrobat 6+ was released suddenly everyone gets this error. It works great in 5.05. I downloaded and overwrote the old version with the new iSEDQuickPDF.dll, but it still occurs. I build several pdfs, then join them, the finally linearize them.

Thanks!

If the pdf was created with unsupported fonts and if these fonts are not inserted in the fontlist of the acrobat settings you can't open this pdf on a pc without these fonts and you'll get this error. You'll get the same error if there are missing brackets () round the/a textstring(s). Best regards, Ingo

Thanks for the quick response!

I somewhat understand the font issue, but why would acrobat 5 open the file on my computer if the fonts did not exist? In other words, the exact file opens in 5 on my computer, but not 6+. Is the missing font a feature of 6+, and version 5+ just overlooks the missing font? Does that make sense?

For the missing brackets issue you stated, can you elaborate? I am not quite sure what you mean by that.

Thanks a ton for you help! Much appreciated!

Linearize them? Not with QuickPDF AFAIK. Must use something else to do this.

Adobe has been adhering more closely to their own spec with each major releaser of Acrobat/Reader. There are MANY PDF libs out there that don't fully follow the the spec (no wonder, it's huge and complex), and will cause exceptions with the newer (tighter) versions.

Try running your problem PDFs through pdftk (free, open source) to see if it can fix them. It uses the iText library, which is one of the best available.
