PDF files won't open with Adobe Reader 6.0
Download the Correction Utility for Adobe Reader 6.0 to modify PDF files generated by EPM, PSS, ACM and DocOut to make the PDF files readable in Acrobat 6.0.
The Correction Utility corrects the PDF object crossreference dictionary to the new strict interpretation of Acrobat 6.0.
The Correction Utility is available for Windows, MVS, Open MVS, VM and AIX 4.3
Correction Utility for Windows
Copy the executable to the desired destination directory.
If you execute the program without parameters you will be presented its syntax:
--------------------------------------------------------------
PDF2Acrobat6 converter, version 0.01
Modifies PDF files for viewing with Acrobat reader 6.0
MPI Tech A/S, 2003, This utility is freeware.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax <>: Mandatory parameters, []: Optional paramerters :
pdf2ab6 [-ov (overwrite existing file)] <InputFile>
[OutPutFile (if -ov not set)]
e.g.
Overwrite existing file
pdf2ab6 -ov c:\old.pdf
pdf2ab6 -ov c:\*.pdf
Create new converted file
pdf2ab6 c:\old.pdf c:\new.pdf
I.e. using the -ov option you can correct a existing file. The -ov option can be used with wildcard, in order to convert multible files. The wildcard must be in the form: <PATH>*.<Extension>.
Otherwise you can generate a new corrected file without modifying the existing.
