If you can read this without a 'bad encrypt dictionary" error, what
version of adobe acrobat (or other pdf reader) are you running?

ON tech assistance is not helpful, or interested, though they did copy
the thing by email, when I raised the issue. The same error occurs no
matter how Adobe 6.01 handles it.

Works fine here with PDFXchange viewer 2.5 (build 194.0). Also <clickety

Works fine (if slowly) with xpdf and evince on linux.

Also OK with sumatra on Windows.

6.01 is pretty old, though I don't know how a modern Acrobat works with
it since I expunged it a while ago It seems to be PDF 1.6
format. This seems to require Acrobat 7 acording to wikipedia:

Fine with Foxit. It gives a warning about saving the file, then saves
"a copy" of it just fine.

Works with Adobe reader 8.2.6. Try downloading it separately with wget
to isolate browser issues.

Work fine here. All 24 pages.

Delete the saved file before you visit the site again, or use your
other browser.

The document's fishy. It come up in the browser with the first page
blank, and the rest of the pages gushing some drivel about "enabling
energy efficient /Solutions/." IOW they're garbled too ;-)
(Solutions? Gee, what if I wanted design info on power supply chips?)

Downloading /then/ viewing, I got an "Application Error: can't read
memory location xxxx:xxxx", but the document came up and was viewable,
all pages.

I'm using Acrobat Reader 7.0.

I'd upgrade to the latest version of acrobat reader. The versions
after 6 where a bit dodgy but version 9 is OK again.

Adobe Acrobat v7.1.0 opens it just fine.

Adobe has this habit of barfing if, say, v6.01 tries to open a v7.1.0
file.

Why not fire up your Univac and try to read it? Punch it on cards and
feed it to your IBM 360? Scribble it on an 8" floppy (or 20) and load it
on your Terak? Try it with your PDP-11 and those cute little 256K tapes?

Reader 9.4.3 has no difficulty at all. Perhaps you should get your
software into this decade...or stick to reading things from the time it
was current.

Right. Well thanks all.

Can't remember the last time I came across commercial literature
that's not backwards compatible to ver6.

I'll mention it to ON. Can't be in their game plan, I'm sure.

It displays OK on Linux, using

evince ("Document Viewer") 2.30.3
kpdf 0.5.9 ("Using KDE 3.5.10").

It's a bit slow to display in both cases, probably due to
the high-depth graphics on the first page.

Both the main display, and the navigation sidebars do show up.

kpdf says that it's a PDF 1.6 document, created by Adobe InDesign CS6
(6.0.4), produced by Adobe PDF Library 9.0, on April 6 2010, and that
it is encrypted.

Possibly the encryption is what's tripping up your reader?

Evince 2.20.3, that comes with Ubuntu 10.4, works just fine.

Opens fine for me.
I have Acrobat 5.0.5 -- which as I understand it, was the last "real"
"Adobe" version of Acrobat before it went open-source and everyone
started adding their own (often incompatible) bells and whistles to it
- such as markup and secure signature stuff, etc...

Not saying any of that is bad, but I had Ver-9 installed and ripped it
out becuase I came across too many PDF's that would open fine with
Ver-5, but would have weird little quirks when opened with Ver-9.
(Ver-9 would still open them, but you might not be able to print them
right, or the form fields might not save, or toggle right, stuff like
that.) Life is too short...

I never hear ANYTHING good about Ver-6 or Ver-7, and I have not tried
them myself.
Personally, I would recommend going back to Ver-5 (if you can do
that), or upgrade to the most current version, whatever that is.

Good luck.
