Thank you Leonard, you have actually given me some ideas for my next
step/troubleshooting process. See responses to individual questions below:

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Using iText to analyze PDF for distilling issues
Distillation is the process of converting Postscript to PDF. Is that really
what you are doing using the Acrobat SDK? If so, please explain what version
of Acrobat/Distiller and the workflow.
[Rick.Wellman] Yes, that is what we are doing. I left out that we are actually
using Acrobat SDK to convert/save as Postscript first. A logical next question
might be: Why are you doing that? The best/short answer I can give you is
that we have another 'Vendor Supplied' PDF tool that is buggy and we have found
through trial and error that this seems to prevent THAT particular bug.
If you are converting Postscript, as you imply, then anything is possible since
it's a full fledged programming language - and one that iText knows nothing
about. You'd need to read the Postscript and find things like loops, memory
allocators, etc.
[Rick.Wellman] Thanks. This gives me some ideas on how to investigate more!
If yoga re talking about something completely different, then please explain
EXACTLY what you are doing.
Also, without seeing actual PDF files, anything we say will be a COMPLETE WILD
A** GUESS.
[Rick.Wellman] This is a well understood and valid point. I would have done
that in almost any circumstance but the data in the document is sensitive and
covered under contractual obligations. I certainly wish I could.
