First, why do this people have old versions of Acrobat reader? I mean,
it is FREE....
Second, it really depends on the email/web program they use. Sometimes,
if you try to load a PDF in Firefox, it will say it is corrupt, but then
hit reload, and it will be fine. Windows.....go figure. It's generally
better to tell them up front that they need to save things to disk
before trying to open them.
Third, there are other programs that make PDFs

Fourth, you might want to upgrade to 10.4. I have an old G3 iMac that
runs 10.4.8 just fine....

Hello folks.
I'm on an iMac running System 10.3.9 and I've been using the built-in
print utility to create PDFs, but I've found that although most people
have been able to open the PDFs I've sent, a number of people on
Windows machines tell me they can't open them - they get "corruption"
errors, and I know the files are not corrupted. I also know that
sometimes the problem is that these people have old versions of
Acrobat Reader. Do any of you know of a PDF creation utility other
than Acrobat Distiller that will run on a Mac?
Thanks
