The corrupt file error may be something to do with the plug-in for your browser. Try saving the file and then opening it in the full Adobe Acroba t Reader. We have this problem with PDFs that I generate in CMS and with commercially generated PDFs. ALL are fine when saved and opened in the fu ll Acrobat. We get the same corrupt file when we transfer via email to Outlo ok. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211
