Preflight is part of the Professional version of Acrobat, not Standard - sorry.
Yes, you can use Preflight to get a list of many (though not all) errors in a PDF using the "Report Syntax Errors" check.

We have Adobe 8 Standard but I cannot find that 'Preflight' option apparently. Do I have wrong version ? Will the 'Preflight' option give me a list of all things wrong in a PDF document ? Or are there any other tools available that do the same job ? Thx, HT.

How do you tell someone that they have a problem BUT then not offer them any way to fix it ESPECIALLY when it's most likely not their fault in the first place (it's just some PDF they downloaded from a web site)? We've introduced this sort of thing, a bit at a time, into Acrobat via the Preflight functionality. So that a user that actually WANTS TO KNOW can get information about the quality (or lack thereof) of a given PDF...

I extracted that first signed revision now. Unfortunately the Reader here once more is quite lax when confronted with broken PDF documents. IMHO it should at least tell the user that the PDF is broken...

Hi HT, I looked at your PDF; Acrobat and the Reader are right, the signature byte range _is_ invalid. It is invalid in the sense that the part of the PDF file from the beginning of the file until the end of the last byte range is not a proper PDF file and therefore not a valid document revision to be signed. Look at it, you'll find that it's actually the signature dictionary (5 0 obj) itself which is located at an invalid position betwenn the trailer dictionary and the startxref making this revision invalid. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> trailer << /Root 19 0 R /ID [<9d9bc8f4766bc3c0cabfe0a7409eb782><9d9bc8f4766bc3c0cabfe0a7409eb782> ] /Info 20 0 R /Size 22 >> 5 0 obj << [...] >> endobj startxref 000000003615 %%EOF 31 0 obj <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Thus you simply have to repair the software that creates the first signature.

Hi All, if someone could give us some advice we would be very gratefull. We really don't see the solution to this problem. If someone could look at the pdf attached and try to find out what goes wrong ? We really checked all code many times but now we are desparate. (Open the doc and click on the grey signature to see the errormessage). The byteranges are OK so it must be something else... Thanks so much already ...
