You don't mention which version of xpdf you have installed on your system. If you're not running the latest one, you should try upgrading. (See http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/) If you are running the latest version, try other xpdf programs, like xpdf itself or pdftops, and see if they give the same error. In any case, you may want to report the error to Derek Noonburg, xpdf's author, if the problem persists in the latest version. > This email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
