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.

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

Mines Acrobat 9 and reads it just fine - its the most recent free version
I've found so far.

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.

Well that's interesting.

I only went up to 6.01 from 5.05 when it became apparent that 6 was
the last rev to do no harm in the MS OS's (preceding XP), if you could
stand it.

One bridge too far.

I don't credit Adobe with 'keeping things together'; the pdf format
originated as open-source.

Chrome + PDF-Xchange viewer work fine here, I have Chrome save the file
then open with viewer, never let .pdfs open in browser as too slow and
flaky in the past.

I was able to download and read the PDF file with no problems.
I used the free Nitro PDF Reader. Look here to download it:

Do be aware that Adobe 6 is considered ancient by this time
and there will be quite a bit of published content on the web
that uses newer version features.

If the underlying basis of PDF really is open-source (backup please), then
Adobe charging thousands for a copy of the "standard" may be vastly
inappropriate or worse. Of course that would match up with their behavior
with Adobe Type Manager and associated fonts.
