AC 10 creates damaged/unopenable PDFs

Anonymous

Hello,
I have a project in AC 10 that has two pages of drawings.
I published in .pdf format and had a multi-page pdf that
I could open with Adobe Reader 7.0.8.
I made some changes to the drawings and published again.
The old pdf was overwritten with a new pdf that Adobe Reader
can't open claiming that either it is not a file that is
supported or the file is damaged.
I have tried to publish several times but the pdfs are always damaged
Anyone run into this ?
Anyone know of a fix ?
Thank you,
Peter Devlin

My best bet: Upgrade your system to 10.4.7. AC uses the system PDF engine on the Mac. It's better in 10.4. I've had zero problems with AC10 layouts published to PDF.

Hello Thomas,
This could very well be.
I hope to get some more confirmation before I buy the latest OS.
Thanks,

Peter Apple will be onto version 10.5 before you get onto version 10.4 ,which incidently has been fairly trouble free for me

Hello John,
Thank you for the tip.
